BROAD CHANNEL, NY - Twins Jolie and Jenna Lane are days from their first birthday, and hours from their first Christmas.
Two "firsts" parents Joe and Jennifer were afraid they wouldn't celebrate at home.
The Lanes bought their waterfront home a year ago, but Sandy ruined it.
Flood insurance didn?t cover all the repairs. And Jennifer and Joe drained their life savings trying to get pregnant. They lucked out with the twins, but that meant there was little left to fix up the house.
A volunteer group called ?New York says Thank You? stepped in to help.
The organization, formed in the aftermath of September 11th, rebuilds communities around the country in the wake of disasters.
Joe is a New York City Police detective, who spent months at the World Trade Center site. The organization spent 50 to 60 thousand dollars rebuilding his house.
The Lanes say celebrating Christmas with their girls in their own home is the best gift they could get.
New York says Thank You has identified 200 other 9/11 First responders who need help rebuilding from Sandy.
