How It Works

It could be me. It could be you. It could be your neighbor or your cousin. In fact, it probably is.

Loss of income, life changes, and other challenges creep up. And before they know it, debt overwhelms them and the future feels bleak.

These are not strangers. They are our brothers and sisters, members of our own community. We’re here to help families who have fallen on hard times. With short-term cash infusions, connections to coaching and other resources, we work together to restore financial stability and long-term sustainability.

Our Approach:
A Hand-Up, Not a Handout

We believe in offering a hand-up, not a handout. This means we focus on providing the tools, resources, and guidance that enable families to regain control of their lives and achieve sustainable financial independence.

Our support requires your full participation and commitment to ensure the best outcomes. We will work alongside you, but your dedication is crucial to the process.

Success Stories

Batsheva's Road to Stability

Batsheva is a mother of over ten children. Her husband was not working, and they were nearly evicted. We started by being a listening ear when she was overwhelmed and at the brink of collapse. We assisted them with much-needed resources, getting her the help she needed. We helped her secure a job. They’re now on their way to better stability.

Avigail's Path to Self-Sufficiency

Avigail is a mother of four with an absentee ex-partner. She was overwhelmed and had nowhere to turn. We helped her by first and foremost being real people who wanted to help. We aided her in getting her debt under control, connected her to local resources and financial assistance, secured weekly cleaning help, and paid for two months’ rent. We also helped her find work that fit her schedule.

Yochanan's Journey to Wholeness

Yochanan is a rabbi who was severely depressed. He had nowhere to turn, and his wife didn’t know about their lack of income, as he hid it well. We paid for therapy and coaching to help him get back to a place where he could be a healthy spouse and father. Yochanan is now on the way to financial and marital stability.
