Ledorosom Special Education
A successful childhood is the breeding ground for a successful adult. Timely evaluations and therapeutic services allow the children to be mainstreamed early on and enable them to have greater success and confidence, both in school and at home. Kupath Rabbi Meir Baal Haness allows for holistic intervention on the physical, emotional, educational, and social front allows the children to flourish in all areas and sets them up for current and future success.
Shabbos & Yom Tov
Shabbos and Yom Tov Packages
When a breadwinner cannot provide for his family, children and adults suffer alike. Daily hunger is real, and the financial strain of Shabbosim and Yomim Tovim are dreaded. Rabbi Meir Baal Haness Charities acknowledges that these are realities which should never be. Our generous Shabbos and Yomim Tovim packages, in addition to shoes and clothing packages distributed twice annually, is a literal lifeline to families straining under financial duress.
Hachnosas Kallah
Hachnosas Kallah
The joys of walking a child to the chuppah is inestimable, as is the joy of being walked down as a chosson and kallah. When financial concerns plague the wedding party, the joy is deeply marred. Rabbi Meir Baal Haness Charities is committed to give each bride and groom a wedding day free of financial duress. Kupath Rabbi Meir provides a generous gift to assist with wedding expenses such as catering, clothing, wedding hall, and other service providers so that the new couple starts off their life together in pure joy.
Rest and recuperation
Eim Kol Chai
Rest and recuperation is crucial for the early weeks of motherhood. Making this time period all about rest for the new mother results in a mother that can resume her household responsibilities quickly. For financially strapped families who have few resources, recuperation at a convalescent home is a dream. With the help of Rabbi Meir Baal Haness Charities, the dream becomes a reality. Rabbi Meir Baal Haness also provides daily, nutritious dinners for the entire family, over a two week period, to ensure that the new mother regains her strength.
Medical
Medical Assistance
A medical crisis doesn’t only mean fear of medical treatment: It means a life which now revolves around doctor, hospitals, insurance, fear, hope, and often, the loss of a breadwinner. Rabbi Meir Baal Haness charities collaborates with care providers and medical organizations to provide missing funds, send care packages to patients, visit and entertain patients and their families to show how much Reb Meir Baal Haness Tzedakah really cares.
Tragic Loss
Keren Yesomim
The loss of a parent is always painful. When young children lose a parent, the loss is tragic. While no one can ever replace the role of a parent, Rabbi Meir Baal Haness Charities steps into the space to close the gap just a bit. Weekly food and cash packets, bi-annual shoes and clothing drives, Big sister and brother programs, occasional activities, and summer fun all go a long way in alleviating the financial burden, and easing the loneliness.
