the necklace Bubbie gave me.”

JF&CS connected him to a school-based group, which they developed called Roots, Ruach, and Resilience where he could safely connect with other Jewish students and express pride in his identity. It reminded him he’s not alone. Now he even wears the necklace our Bubbie gave him again.

And me? I got to go back to camp! Thanks to generous donors, my brothers and I received camp subsidies that made it possible. We also received awesome stuff like sleeping bags, towels, and clothes. When I stepped off the bus at camp again, it felt like getting a piece of my life back.

Moving Forward​

​

That’s my story.  The fear that we might lose everything isn’t as loud anymore. Mom says that thanks to JF&CS, we found a community that continues to support our family every step of the way. We still miss Bubbie every day. Grief doesn’t disappear. But our story is changing and we’re rebuilding our lives.

Many families face moments like ours, when everything feels uncertain and the path forward isn’t clear. JF&CS helps people move forward with hope, dignity, and compassion.

Sometimes all it takes is one call for help. This is where the story changes, and a new chapter begins.
