Habitat for Humanity's new homes on Long Island

Only now is Kathy Governale starting to recover emotionally. "For a long time, I was bitter," says Governale, 31, of Mastic Beach.

kathy governale is all talk. How dare she accept the gifts from the church. She might not even go to that church and help them too. While other people out their that are less fortunate than her, she still accepts the gift. Christmas is not about gifts, its about love.
I'd rather have a more needed famiily to be adopted by the lutharin church .agreeable??

I know kat, it's nelson she was with sal governale. And he took cre of her she is a fraud. And thats the btm line.

[Kathy]

Well Nelson I am sorry to say that you are sadly mistaken. I was the one that had always taken care of Mr. Sal Governale. He never took care of his family and to this day he does not take care of his children. So before you go on making ignorant comments like that get the facts. Trust me on that...

[Kathy]

As for your comments, you are wrong, you do not know me and my family and I think that it is very sad that you would look to tarnish something that was so beautiful for me and most importantly my children. One thing that is true is that I will never be able to repay all the beautiful, caring people that helped me and my family during a very hard time of need. The only way that we are able to pay back is by "paying it forward", something that myself and my children will always do.

I am very sorry that you feel that another family deserved help, who knows maybe you needed the help, but by saying negative comments is not how to handle it. God bless...the Governale Family
