Donate to help refugees using HIAS INC.

I am preparing to become a Bat-Mitzvah this upcoming June. As part of my preparations, I came up with a Mitzvah Project to show my support towards a cause. For my project, I chose to set up a GoFundMe to raise money for the HIAS foundation. 

HIAS is a Jewish non-profit organization which provides humanitarian aid and assistance to Jewish and non-Jewish refugees all over the world! Not only does this organization help with providing vital services to refugees and advocate for their fundamental rights, but they are also responding to emergencies wherever they occur. At the moment, HIAS is aiding civilians in the conflict between Israel and Gaza. HIAS is supplying displaced civilians and asylum-seekers in Israel from Eritrea and other African countries with urgent items such as hygiene products, blankets, school supplies, and dignity kits. They are also assisting in child protection, mental health support, urgent care, and much more.  

I chose this organization because a large part of my family immigrated to the US from the Soviet Union with the help of HIAS. HIAS helped them with resettling into America, and providing the support that they needed. 

I hope you can make a charitable donation to the GoFundMe page. It would really help.

My parents will also match every dollar you donate to this great cause!

Thank you,
