The Holocaust Survivor Support Fund
Meeting the Needs of Holocaust survivors in Greater Atlanta
A joint partnership of Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta, Jewish Family & Career Services, Jewish Home Life Communities, The Breman Museum, the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta, and Eternal-Life Hemshech to meet the increased needs of home care, health care, social services, assisted living support, and financial assistance for Holocaust survivors in our community.
Today, at least 130 of the more than 250 Greater Atlanta Holocaust survivors receive financial, social, or support services. The average survivor age is 84 and more than 38% of survivors receiving financial and support services have annual incomes that fall below the Federal poverty level. As needs increase each year, so do the funding gaps.
It is predicted that over the next five years the cost to cover these services and assistance will exceed, at a minimum, $2.5 million, or $500,000 annually for the most fundamental needs.
The cost to cover service needs, support, and financial assistance such as home care, medical needs, medical equipment, prescription drugs, dental care, meals, emergency financial assistance, adult day care, assisted living housing support (with partial scholarships), hospice, and funeral arrangements will outpace available funding.
Your help is needed. Please consider making a contribution to the Holocaust Survivor Support Fund so we can meet the critical needs of Holocaust survivors in our community and ensure they live their final days in comfort and with dignity.
