Supporting Holocaust Survivors

In honor of my 50th birthday, and more poignantly the survivors of the Holocaust living in the United States, I ask you to join me today in contributing to KAVOD.

I saw an article on KAVOD in the Washington Post on my actual birthday two weeks ago and was shocked to learn that  one-third of the 80,000 survivors living in the US are at or near the poverty line!  Think about that -- that's crazy.  And sad.

I called KAVOD's founder and we talked for 30 minutes.   100% of the funds KAVOD raises go to survivors to provide basic necessities.   I have full confidence that KAVOD is 100% credible.  We played Jewish geography and he even knows my cousin from synagogue in Memphis.

I know it's important that funds are directed to basic needs (rent, groceries, medications) but more importantly - I want to be part of letting survivors know they are not forgotten. 

Please join me today -- in celebration of my 50th birthday and in honor of the memories of all those who perished in the Holocaust that we remember today on Holocaust Remembrance Day / Yom HaShoa -- and contribute to KAVOD. 

Thank you in advance for your generosity honoring those who perished in the Holocaust and providing dignity to the survivors in the twilights of their lives.

About KAVOD 
100% of the money KAVOD raises is sent to Jewish Family Services organizations around the country who have the relationships with and means to support the survivors in their communities.  The money goes to the Survivors in the form of gift cards to Grocery Stores, Pharmacies and other service providers. The aid offers relief for Emergency situations to help pay for basic day to day needs like food and medicine.
