Stories of impact
Hear from our community
“I’ve given to many organizations over the years, but kindnessFAMILIES is different. I’m honored to sponsor 10 families in San Diego can count on support every single month without having to ask, without having to worry, that means everything to me. They are rebuilding their lives, and I get to be a small, quiet part of that.”
— David S., kindnesssFAMILIES Sponsor
“My husband and I wanted to give in a way that felt personal, not a check to a large organization, but something that actually lands in someone’s life. kindnessFAMILIES gave us that. We think about our family often and hope they know someone is rooting for them.”
— Rachel and Michael B., kindnesssFAMILIES Sponsor
“Our family chose kindnessFAMILIES as our child’s B’nai Mitzvah project. All year long, our kids thought about another family at every Jewish holiday, at every Shabbat table. It taught them what tzedakah really means. It is the greatest gift we have ever given and honestly, the greatest gift we have ever received.”
— The Goldstein Family, kindnesssFAMILIES Sponsor
“I am a single mother. There were months I didn’t know how I was going to keep the lights on and get my kids to school. Knowing that a family in my community had chosen to support me without ever meeting me gave me more than financial help. It gave me the strength to keep going.”
— Miriam, KI Member
“I lost my job and within three months I was facing eviction. I had never asked for help in my life. When I learned that a family in my own community had chosen to support me while I got back on my feet people I have never met who believed in me it changed everything.”
— Yaakov, KI Member

“After my husband passed, I was alone and terrified. I didn’t know who to turn to. Knowing that another Jewish family was standing behind me every single month quietly, without asking anything in return made me feel like I was not alone in the world.”
Esther, KI Member

Why It Gives
Why This Matters
When a family faces their darkest hour, they should not have to face it alone. But too many still do.
When you don’t have enough dollars to make a meal each day in a Jewish home, imagine what your $360 this month means — gas to get to work, food on the table, a roof over your head. This gift is tremendous, and it makes all the difference in the world.
Sometimes it just takes one person, one act of loving kindness, one break to change everything.
