With Your Help…

I would like to thank you very much for the Pesach robe, food order, and extra food aisle “shopping” that we received. It is a big financial relief and we really appreciate all the services that we receive from the Chicago Chesed Fund.

My husband and I wanted to express our tremendous Hakaras Hatov for the above and beyond assistance from the Chicago Chesed Fund. It was a particularly financially stressful year and everything you provided for Pesach added more menuchas hanefesh. We are awed by what you do and all the help you provide. We daven for the day when we can be on the giving end.

The items were truly so supportive and therefore Pesach made much less of a financial dent then it could have! It is not only the physical support that is appreciated – the service is provided in such a dignified way and so efficiently. And the following week the choice of prepackaged/dry goods was so helpful too! In fact, when the attendant heard that our haggaddos had been ruined in a recent sewage flood – she helped me to pick up a few used haggaddos from the bookshelves too, BH!

-T.K.

The gemach has increased the stability and joy in my kids and my life. We feel it’s been a very blessed Passover, enhanced greatly by Chicago Chesed Fund. Thanks for sharing your gifts with my family.

-S.P.
