“I’m writing this with tears running down my face.
There aren’t enough words to express my appreciation.
You are angels disguised as people.
You were with me whenever I needed help. You gave me support and a shoulder to lean on. You gave me direction and advice. You listened and you cared. You taught me to look forward, to set an order of priorities. You helped me make difficult decisions.”
“Thank you for the university scholarship. I have half a year to go! I couldn't have done it without the Keren Chessed.
I am one of eleven siblings, and I am desperate to break out of my family’s cycle of poverty. I want to complete my degree so that I can earn a decent living, help my family, and give back."
“Every time, at exactly the right moment, when we were the most stressed, there was a surprise waiting for us in our mailbox that made us smile.
The envelope with the food vouchers reminded us that there are angels who haven’t forgotten us and who are always there for us.”
"Your help with food vouchers saves our lives over and over.
Especially during the holidays and the summer when the expenses for our family of 11 skyrocket.
Every shekel you give us makes our lives a bit easier.”
"My children were sleeping on the floor.
There aren't words to describe how grateful I am for the new beds."
"The Keren Chessed takes care of people like me in a most discreet, compassionate, and responsive way.
With a keen sense of responsibility to investigate the needs of the potential recipients, there is accountability, sensitivity, and attentive caring."
"For years I’ve been walking around with a mouth full of missing teeth.
I couldn’t chew my food properly, I was too embarrassed to smile. Now I have teeth! Now I can smile! I am so grateful to you for giving me teeth, for giving me back my smile.
How can I ever, ever thank you and your wonderful organization? May G-d bless you always."
