When my family was in crisis, someone told me about JAFCO. I was apprehensive at first because I never heard of them and I have a hard time trusting people. Now, over a year later, they are still working with us and have been a vital part of us surviving this crisis. They have gone to court with me, helped me in the house and are available to just talk. They even brought the kids Hanukkah gifts. They have been amazing and a lifesaver to us.

We are truly grateful for the support you have offered us! The SibShop has definitely helped Sophie feel not alone. She is able to connect more deeply with her brother Mark and even made a new friend. They have had several playdates outside of the group and their friendship is growing in beautiful ways. We are so appreciative to you and your team and can’t thank you enough.

Since working with JAFCO, a commitment has been made on my end to better the life of my son on the daily and for the future. To do this, I have also committed to following the guidance given by JAFCO, and other supports available. It takes a lot of perseverance and grit, looking at myself and what I need to change and learn in order to be the best mom my son needs and the woman he needs to see as a role model for his future self. Though setbacks happen along the way, there are changes being implemented all the time. Not all work, which is why we are grateful to have a network of regular support.

Thank goodness for your services! I am not sure in this case what we would have done without you.
