PRESS RELEASES

For 2009

Dear (Camp Coordinator) Marsha Zander:

Would you please thank everyone at the Jewish Children’s Regional Service for helping (son) this year to go to camp. Without your help, (son) would not have been able to attend and he would have missed out on being able to be with Jewish children and share this wonderful experience. It is often hard for a child in a divorce situation where one parent is not Jewish and not supportive.
As a single Jewish mother, I do what I can in trying to give (son) as much as I can regarding his Jewish heritage but I am only one person and there are often many forces that pull against it — a Christian father forcing him to church, a divorce restricting geographic location to areas where there are not many Jewish people, on and on. (Son) has had many challenges, two divorces, his sister passing, a home badly damaged, a stroke at a young age and disability. However, he believes in G-d and knows he is Jewish. I pray that someday he will have his bar mitzvah and grow into a fine Jewish man. Thank you all again for your part in making this happen.

Best wishes,
Southern Jewish Mother

Dear Ms. Tabb,

Please accept my sincere appreciation and gratitude to you, Mr. Ned Goldberg, and the Educational Scholarship Committee of the Jewish Children’s Regional Service for awarding me a 2009-20 10 Educational Scholarship. Being selected for this scholarship is an honor and I am grateful for the educational opportunities that it will afford me as I begin my college education at the University of , This money will be a great help in reducing the debt and financial burden on my family and will reduce my stress level during my very demanding freshman year. I plan to use the generous scholarship funds as I pursue my ambition of an education in Business studies.
JCRS has been a tremendous support to me and my family over the years including scholarships to Jewish summer camp, funding special needs education, and college assistance. I hope to one day be in a position to be a donor to this wonderful Jewish Agency that helps so many in so many ways. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
YOUNG MAN WHO HAS RECEIVED A VARIETY OF JCRS SERVICES

Dear JCRS, 

I don't know if the school sent this to you so here it is. I want to thank you for all that you have done for our family. I hope seeing this will assure you that it is worth it. Although our son is still complaining, he is doing fantastically. If you ever need a parent to sing your praises don't hesitate to call me. I can't say enough about the good work you have and continue to do. And although my son complains that the food is terrible and the bed is uncomfortable, it must be the combination that he needed. Look at his grades! I guess when he comes home I have to stop cooking good food and make him sleep on the floor for him to continue to excel!"`

All joking aside, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. May you staff continue its mitzvot, and have nothing but Nachas in your lives. You can never know how much you have brought to mine.

Dear Mr. Ned Goldberg,

Please accept our wholehearted thank you for your generous help and financial assistance! We fully appreciate what JCRS has taken upon itself to help us with regard to our child’s physical occupational and speech therapy services. We can personally testify that the challenge of assisting a child who requires extra support can be divided into two categories, emotional weightiness, and financial weightiness. We thank you for helping us out financially in our journey to help our son reach his full potential.

Thank G-d we have seen, and continue to see tremendous progress. He is not the child he was at the onset of his challenges. We know that we must continue with his therapies, as they are truly saving his life, and performing miracles before our very eyes. His social and language skills are improving daily.

Thank you again for reaching out and helping those in need. Your organization exemplifies Mi Ke-Amcha Yisroel, Who is like the Nation of Israel? Reaching out and helping others, simply filling a need, and helping a cause.

May Hashem bless your organization, JCRS and those individuals responsible for helping make this happen.

May you merit having many more years of only good tidings, blessings, and fortune come your way!

Most sincerely,

Parents of a child with pervasive developmental disabilities.
