Oil Heat Cares and its volunteers help dozens of families in need each year by installing new heating systems. The reliability of a heating system provides more than just a warm home or community center. The individuals served are able to keep themselves and their loved ones healthy and the centers can continue to provide vital programs for people in need.

We're fundraising for Oil Heat Cares' Care to Ride Event on behalf of Team HeatingHelp.com. It will take place on May 21, 2018. Please click here and make a donation to this great cause.

Thank you!

    Here's how Oil Heat Cares helped a single mother in NJ recently:

    Roy Kuczera of Service Professionals in Union, NJ, led a team to replace a boiler for Pamela Merola, a brave woman struggling with many challenges. He reached out to Sid Harvey’s, a corporate member of OESP, for assistance, and Sid Harvey’s made the introduction to Oil Heat Cares.

    Pamela Merola is a 49-year-old single mother of three boys and one dog, and is a thoughtful daughter and loving sister. She is an artist, a jewelry maker and a fun, creative free spirit. Pam has served many patients as a physical therapist assistant for the past 12 years.

    She has become close to the people she serves, counseling them through their tough journeys and always lending an empathetic ear, dispensing hugs as necessary.

    Two years ago, Pam was diagnosed with advanced, Stage IV melanoma, which spread to lymph nodes in throughout her body. With all of the medical treatments she required to fight such an aggressive cancer, she could not work.

    Last year, Service Professionals ran a Breast Cancer Awareness charity program in conjunction with “Mary’s Place by the Sea,” a respite home for women who are receiving treatment for cancer. Pam was selected as a very deserving recipient of a new furnace, after struggling with an unheated home for two years.

    Because Pam’s house is 300 years old, it required an oil-fired steam boiler, which could not be provided by the company working with Mary’s Place. So, Oil Heat Cares stepped in and covered the cost of a Sid Harvey’s oil-fired steam boiler, including a Beckett Burner. With labor provided by Service Professionals, Pam and her family now have a warm house and were able to make it through the four nor’easters in their very old home.

    This past winter, Oil Heat Cares helped Julie Harris. She lost her job last year after taking a one-month-long unpaid leave of absence following the sudden death of her 24-year-old son in April. While actively looking for work, Mrs. Harris had no income and was unable to replace both her inoperable oil and water heaters. Mrs. Harris described her OHC experience as one of the best things “that has ever happened to her in her whole life.” Read the full story here.

    If you've found help on this forum, please pay it forward and donate to Oil Heat Cares, so they can continue to assist those in need. Thank you!

    Thanks to all who donated to Oil Heat Cares. The Care to Ride event last week raised $20,000 for those in need and Team Heating Help was a part of that, winning an award for top fundraising team. Way to go!

    Here's a look at the great work that Oil Heat Cares and its volunteers do throughout the year: https://www.pmmag.com/articles/101398-oil-heat-cares-helps-customers-in-need This would not be possible without your support. Thank you!
