Simcha Food Distributions

Rabbi Peretz and
Mrs. CV Dinovitz

“I had my 8th spinal surgery and was feeling down and out due to the extra medical expenses and then I received two very generous checks and my spirits were lifted!”
“We always feel like we are drowning, but when water started pouring into our daughters room, the ‘drowning feeling’ turned into ‘drowning reality.’ Thanks for helping us cover the exorbitant bill.”
“Not only has this much needed money helped with food for the holidays but also substantial medical bills I have incurred.”

“We’re extremely grateful for the financial support, but even more for the feelings of love and support we get from Ahavas Yisrael.”

“We are hard working people and we try to make ends meet on a regular basis, but Yomim Tovim present a challenge. It is always so appreciated when we receive a check from Ahavas Yisrael to ease the burden.”

“I have known about Ahavas Yisrael since I moved to Baltimore but never expected to be on the receiving side. I admire the gentle, respectful work you have been doing.”

“I had been hoping for a way to replace my winter coat which is frayed and held together by tape. Due to the generosity of Ahavas Yisrael I can now buy a new one!”
“Words alone cannot describe the tremendous relief I feel in receiving this very generous gift to help make our family simcha. This kind gift gives me Menuchas Hanefesh, and for that there not enough words to express my Hakaras HaTov.”
“It is always difficult for us to be on the receiving end, but we are so appreciative when we do receive.”
“Besides for the financial help you also help with advice and encouragement. This is always done without making us feel bad or ashamed.”
“I want to thank you for your sensitivity and sincerity in helping me get back on track. I don’t take for granted the enormity of what chesed Ahavas Yisrael does for the Baltimore community.”
“Ahavas Yisrael has quietly and discreetly helped me through school and helped me feel supported and cared for. I just graduated and could not have gotten my Masters without your help and the help of the Baltimore community.”

“As always, you are there for me and my children. Thank you for helping me get through a rough time when I lost my job this summer. It was because of your generosity that we made it through and now I am training for a new job. Your kindness and support have gotten me through in so many ways. As hard as I try to be independent and self-sufficient, there are times I don’t know what I’d do without your help.”

“We received your generous check and as always it’s quite appreciated. It is going directly to Yom Tov expenses and it truly eases our anxiety and give us peace of mind.”
