URGENT NEED: THE MISASKIM TRUCK THAT SERVICED THE DEAL COMMUNITY HAS BROKEN DOWN BEYOND REPAIR.
We’re sure you are all aware of the vital work done by Misaskim. Misaskim's mission is to provide support and assistance to individuals experiencing crisis or tragedy by providing them with vital bereavement services, while safeguarding the dignity of the deceased. They have been there for our community, over and over again. There hasn’t been a shivah home in the area that hasn’t been provided for by Misaskim volunteers. They have been servicing the community day in day out, for years at a time.
Now - they NEED OUR HELP.
They are in desperate need of funds. The Misaskim truck that services the Deal community has broken down beyond repair. The volunteers have had to make the necessary deliveries in their cars - an option that is not feasible. Misaskim MUST replace the trucks before the summer is over. But, the cost for trucks is prohibitively expensive,as each one is custom made for Misaskim’s needs. The cost of purchasing a new truck is $100,000. Without the necessary vehicles, Misaskim volunteers can’t do what needs to be done. There is also an increase in the need for extra equipment due to the pandemic that needs to be purchased to keep up with the demand.
In addition, the demand from the Brooklyn Sephardic community is growing by leaps and bounds every day. In response to the unfortunate increase in the need for their services, Misaskim is working to raise money to rent a new warehouse in the Brooklyn area to better serve the community. In short, there is a real, URGENT, NEED for your help. Without it, Misaskim will not be able continue providing the essential services the community needs.
By donating toward this cause, you are giving to the Sephardic community. Every single dollar that is raised goes right back to the community - in the form of the continuation of Misaskim’s incredible work.
To raise the money they so desperately need, Misaskim has launched an urgent fundraising campaign directed towards the Sephardic communities of Deal and Brooklyn. The campaign will run from August 4th to August 11th.
We’re asking the community to step up and give, enabling Misaskim to continue serving our friends and neighbors in need.
Together, we can support Misaskim’s vital work for the bereaved of our community.
