Queen Mother Dr. Delois Blakely's only wish for Mother’s Day…. “that all of my children help me save my home." In the spirit of this Mother’s Day, and as an expression of our lo
ve for a mother who for the last fifty years has been a mother to a community of people from both within and outside of Harlem. Queen Mother Blakely mentors and empowers young people in Harlem and from abroad to make a difference in their communities. We are launching this crowdfunding effort in order to reach out to the broader community for help in the form of legal services, advocacy, support, and an investment or loan. This House is the home of "The Little Angel" - Queen Mother's daughter, severely disabled from birth, whose beautiful spirit blesses everyone who enters, motivating Queen Mother Blakely to advocate for all disabled persons everywhere. History of the Alexander Hamilton Grange-Queen Mother Blakely's home at 477 West 142st. is located in the Hamilton Heights neighborhood in Harlem. This landmark building is located on our United States Founding Father Alexander Hamilton Grange.

What's At Stake? Queen Mother is A pillar in Harlem
Protecting the last vestiges of elders in Harlem from the predators
Cultural heritage
Alexander Hamilton. Should he be alive, he’d be very much concerned with the 1% take over from the 99%. PLAN OF RE-ORGANIZATION
Moving forward, a re-organization plan is needed as well as a Bankruptcy Attorney. Elders should continue to be a part of the fabric of the community. The Building will continue to serve women with children and people with low income as it has since the foundation. It will serve as a home to New Future Foundation, Inc., a non profit founded by Queen Mother Blakely. Visit our website for more information on Queen Mother's NGO: www.newfuturefoundation.org
It will also seek to remain financially sustainable by generating rental income in order to keep up with high costs of the neighborhood.
