Sara’s childhood was cut short when she and her family had to flee from the N***s at the outset of WWII. Today, she is one of nearly 300 Holocaust survivors cared for by JSSA. Many of those we serve receive meals, home care, and support they need to live independently—because they should not be uprooted from their homes any longer.

Our $100,000 Match Challenge is still ongoing until March 31. Every gift will double to support JSSA’s Holocaust Survivor Program and help survivors like Sara age safely at home. Please double your impact before the deadline ➡️ https://ow.ly/SQLL50YoMWI
