THANK YOU so much to everyone who donated to our Friends Campaign! Because of your generosity, we were able to raise nearly $84,000!!

When you make a gift to support the work at JFS, you are directly supporting individuals who receive our services.

Individuals like Krystyna, who escaped to Delaware with her husband and two children from the war in Ukraine. 

"I really hope the war in Ukraine finishes soon.. This is very hard. But we are lucky because we are here now. And thank G*d we have a safe place here in Delaware."

Or Dan, a teacher, runner, and new father who was struggling with paternal postpartum feelings.

"February of this past year was a really low point for me. I was seeing someone from JFS weekly and started seeing improvement in the later part of the spring. I was on paternity leave during a lot of that time, and I was going back to work in May and feeling a lot more functional. Throughout the summer I’ve seen a lot of progress, and now I’m back to school in the fall and have been able to get back to some of the activities that I love to do and be more social and be invested in taking care of my son and my family.” 

Or Cristiane, a mom in our Maternal Mental Health program whose newborn daughter had to undergo heart surgery.

“I had no hope whatsoever…. I had postpartum depression. I was very confused. Small things would become big things for me. I put a lot of guilt and shame on myself. I’m better now at managing relationships. I have more awareness, knowing what makes me feel the way I do, how to cope with it.”

All this amazing work happens because of your generous spirit! And don't forget, you can still donate to JFS NOW and all throughout 2024.

Your donation can be made online, by check and sent to our offices, or give us a call. We thank you for your consideration.
