Yad Chessed is a social services organization that provides emergency financial assistance to Jews in the Greater Boston area. Since 2020, Aaron's mom Nancy has led this nonprofit in fulfilling their mission to help the members of our community in need. We are inspired by this cause and hope to continue to volunteer our time through Yad Chessed's various engagement opportunities. We would be very grateful for any support you can provide, whether through a donation here or in-person volunteering.

During the summer of 2022, Raquel and Aaron volunteered at Yoga and Sport with Refugees (YSR). We staffed shifts at the organization's gym, which provides programming to refugees at a local refugee camp. We are continuously impressed with how YSR invests in the physical and mental health of people in vulnerable positions. It would mean so much to us for you to support this cause, helping to build a world of compassion and care for those who most need it.

Cradles to Crayons (C2C) is a national organization that provides basic necessities to kids living in unhoused, impoverished, and low-income settings. In high school and college, Raquel volunteered frequently at Chicago's C2C. I crafted personalized packs of clothing, toys, shoes, coats, diapers, and school supplies for children. We both believe in C2C's mission, directing resources in a needed direction. We would be proud to help direct any more resources to C2C!
