Do you want to help Israel?
We have recently been asked how we can help Israel during this war time and I can think of no better organization to help when help is needed.
Chabad is a Jewish Orthodox organization that is not only there for your spiritual needs but, also to help in any way they can to support the IDF as they do their very difficult but, necessary job right now.
They are also there to give spiritual support to loved ones of the hostages that were taken and the families of those who were murdered. Yes, you can support the efforts of other worthy groups but, Chabad even in times of peace are there for the IDF and the Jewish people of Israel no matter what their religious' observation is.
They are even there for the non-Jewish on occasions. I can tell of many stories. Your donation, no matter how big or small can help them make a difference to our soldiers and their families. Please go to this special page that they have set up specifically for this purpose click "Find out more below" to donate.
If you do donate, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I want you to know what a blessing you have done!

FAQs
Here are some questions you might want answered before you contact us.
Q: Are you a Doctor, Nurse or Social Worker?
A: No, we are not medical practitioners. We work as advocates to help you with your doctor's, nurses, or social workers. We also help out in the hospital to make sure that you understand what is going on with your personal situation.
Q: Do you charge for your services?
A: Yes, we do. We will take into consideration your income and charge you on a sliding scale.
Q: Will I be seeing you in your office?
A: No, we will either come to you at your home, hospital, assisted living facility or nursing home. For adults below 50 years of age, we will either see you at home or on a virtual visit. We will assess your personal situation first and then decide what is best. For children, we will only see you if your parent(s) or guardian is present.
Q: Do I need to pay for my personal plan?
A: Yes, before we prepare your plan, you must pay by cash, credit card or money order. We will not accept personal checks. We do this because in most cases, we have to prepare a file for you and this may take a lot of hours so, we ask you to pay in advance a one time fee. This is in addition to the execution of your plan. You will be paying us by the hour, or by a flat fee or by a retainer.
