JSH ANUKAMPA DAAN

*25 Activities on the 25th Anniversary*

*JSH ANUKAMPA DAAN*

We are pleased to announce *Anukampa Daan Activity* as part of our 25th Anniversary Celebrations.

Our Volunteers *Neeruben Shah and Toral Mehta* have identified couple of organizations as part of this efforts.

1. _*BEAR (Be a resource for Neglected and Abused Kids):-*_ BEAR provides hope and help for abused and neglected children and the caseworkers who protect them. There are 16000 children every year involved in Child Protective Services (CPS) related cases.

2. _*IM (Interfaith Ministries Refugee Services Department):-*_ IM resettles legal refugees fleeing their homeland in fear of political or social persecution and help with critical essentials. Women and children constitute the majority of these displaced people.

*JSH* will provide _*250 custom Kits*_ of critically needed items (Hygiene Packs, Hair care products, Baby wipes, Diapers, Feminine hygiene products, Books, Blankets and Clothing ) to both organizations.

We are hoping to raise $5,001 to ensure abused and neglected children and women have a healthy life. Please consider a minimum donation of $51.

Please fill the form below to make a donation:-
