She couldn’t witness it without trying to dosomething about it.That was how Flo Wheatley of Hop Bottom

felt when, as an 18-year-old, she had witnessed ahomeless man collapse on a New York City sub-way platform. Twenty years later, Wheatley wasback in the Big Apple when her son, Leonard,was being treated at the Sloan-Kettering Hos-pital for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and she, herhusband, Jim, and Leonard found themselves ina predicament.“We had taken a cab from the hospital to the

subway that rainy Monday afternoon,” Wheatleyrecalled. “Leonardwas feelingwoozy from chemo-therapy. I had to stop on the sidewalk outside thesubway entrance and prop him up on one of oursuitcases while he retched into a plastic bag. Peo-ple pushed past us with that look-straight-aheadmanner I remember from my own commuterdays. As the rain fell harder, I silently prayed.”Wheatley’s prayers were answered in the form

of a homelessmanwho had helped the family haila taxi cab. AsWheatley slid a five-dollar-bill intohis hand before getting in, he said to her, “Don’tabandon me.”Abandon him she did not, as her awareness

of the plight of the homeless increased as she ob-served themonher return visits toNewYork. Shehad witnessed one man who, for two years, stayedaround a bridge she would pass on her way backto Pennsylvania.“One morning something caught my atten-

tion,” she said. “He was now covered by a pinkblanket, apparently homemade. It was a tiny de-tail against the vast backdrop of life in New YorkCity, but it jumped out at me. ‘I could do that,’ Ithought. Sewingwas one ofmy favorite pastimes.”It was from that spark of inspiration that My

Brother’s Keeper, now known as The SleepingBag Project, was born.Jeanie Sluck, the director of the Taylor Com-

munity Library, 710 S. Main St., heard Wheat-ley’s story recently and knew she had to do some-thing to help.

“Flo and Jim are a wonderful couple, they areso down to earth and passionate about this projectthat it is difficult not to be caught up in it,” shesaid. “After listening to their speech on how thisproject developed, I couldn’t help but want to beinvolved in some way.”Sluck is now accepting items to make quilts or

sleeping bags for the area’s homeless community.Donations of fabric, batting, thread or other use-ful items can be brought to the library Mondaysthrough Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Fridaysfrom 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m.to 4 p.m.“This project is on-going and supplies are al-

ways in demand,” Sluck said. “There’s no timelike the present to get started collecting. Flo andJim actually don’t take pre-made sleeping bags, asthey would likely never make it to the intended

recipients. Once we begin to make the bags fromthe donated materials, they will be given to Floand Jim. Jim actually does the delivery of thesebags and I know that there is a demand for themin this area that is higher thanwhat you’d expect.”The member libraries of the Lackawanna

County Library System conduct a monthly col-lection for anyone in need and the Taylor Com-munity Library has an on-going food drive. Sluckis hoping that other Triboro-area organizationsjoin forces with the library for the Sleeping BagProject.“We are a community library,” Sluck said.

“What better way to live up to your name than tobe involved with a project like this?”For more information, call the Taylor Com-

munity Library at 570-562-1234or visit lclshome.org/b/taylor-community-library/.

ough an opportunity to pay tribute tobrothers and sisters in the fire service andto veterans in the armed services.The flags are flown on a monthly ba-

sis from the date which the council holdsits monthly meeting to the next meeting.Once the supply of flags is exhausted, theflags will be returned to the flagpole untilit is no longer useful.
