Hands Reaching Out to Hearts

“On my pilgrimage to India I met many people in great need. And while it is not possible to help everyone, our sages teach us that if we save one life it is as if we have saved the entire world. In Haridwar, I met a lovely young family -- an earnest young man working hard to support his wife and newborn daughter. He has recently lost the means by which to provide for his family. We are looking for a way to help him overcome this financial hardship. Your donation, no matter how small, will go a long way towards helping this family. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.”
