I want to thank you so much for the very generous contribution you have made to send my children P and F to camp for the second summer in a row. The funding you are providing makes a huge difference in my ability to send them this summer. I know that through Eileen Sklaroff (whom I refer to as my "angel" for all of her help), you know how difficult my situation is. It means so much that there are people like you and Eileen who are able to understand and respond. My children didn’t ask for this situation, and I am so grateful that , because of such help, they are able to have the Jewish summer camp experience that means so much to them, despite the family financial difficulties…
The circumstances may be a little different – one comes from a family where domestic violence tore the family apart; another abandoned (along with his mom) by her father when he went off to live with someone else; for others whose families are intact and functioning normally, the economic crisis covering our country makes time away at camp an impossibility.
As in the past, the Good People Fund has just committed to being part of the solution for several families represented by the Female Hebrew Benevolent Society of Philadelphia. When Eileen Sklaroff, the organization’s compassionate and efficient director approaches us we know that she has done her homework and not only found the most worthwhile cases, but also assembled a group of "investors" who can come together to make it all possible. This is one group we are thrilled to be part of.
