Bertha Survived the Unimaginable. Will You Help Her Now?

Bertha was just a little girl when she heard the soldiers shout angrily, “Where are the Jews?”

She lay perfectly still. She held her breath. She was terrified.

That little girl is now 96 years old. She lives alone in Moldova, but still remembers how she walked for weeks without food or water to survive. She lost her father in the Odesa ghetto. She endured decade after decade of poverty, hardship, and the weight of memories that no person should have to carry.

And still, she is here.

Today, Bertha faces a quiet, daily struggle to survive without enough food, without someone to check on her, and without the resources to observe the High Holy Days with the dignity she deserves.

But you can help change that.

When you give to The Fellowship today, you will help provide Bertha and thousands of elderly Jews like her with:

• Nutritious food and essential supplies to observe this holy season with dignity
• Care and visits from Fellowship volunteers who sit with her and remind her she matters
• Emergency assistance that keeps her safe and supported through the High Holy Days and beyond

She told us something that stopped me in my tracks:

“The Fellowship always provides us with everything we need. If it weren’t for this help, we would truly suffer.”
