Abby recently had a Bat Mitzvah and in addition to donating money to OneFamily Fund’s Youth Division, she created friendship bracelets for kids helped by off for her Bat Mitzvah. She even hand delivered them to the office in Jerusalem. Upon her return from Israel, Abby sent the following note to OneFamily Fund Canada’s Ellen Little
Dear Ellen,
I had an amazing time in Israel! It was an experience of a life time! I am so happy that I had the opportunity to go and visit the OneFamily office in Jerusalem! I didn’t just want to donate money to the organization, I wanted to do something special to make people smile! So I decided to make bracelets and bring them with me to Israel to give to the kids. Unfortunately I was unable to meet any of the kids but I know that all the kids will really enjoy them. I realized how fortunate I am to have family and have the things that I have in life. I learned that donating money is one thing but actually putting time and effort into something, made not only me but everybody happy!
I am a camper at Camp Timberlane and I know that Cory
[Mandel] supports the organization, and gives kids [from Israel] the opportunity to go to camp for a couple of weeks. This warmed my heart and made me realize that I wanted to help others have the same experience that I do each year. Thank you Ellen for supporting me!
From, Abby
