How to help.
Thirty Jewish single mothers, twenty-three in Chicago and seven out of town, get a year of hands-on help: a case manager who picks up the phone, seven experts, six evenings together and one weekend away. It costs her nothing. Somebody else has to cover it.
Project Nurture is an initiative of Collective Kindness, a 501(c)(3). EIN 93-2213288. Every gift is tax-deductible.
See if this is rightfor a woman you know.
You do not need to be sure. If a woman you know is divorced or getting divorced and carrying it alone, tell us her first name and how to reach her, or ask us whether she fits. We take it from there, quietly.
Local partners,across the country.
In every city there is an organization that already knows her: the Shabbos table, the peer group, the legal advocate, the pantry. Sister to Sister Network in New York and New Jersey. One Family, The Ark and Al Kanfei Nisharim in Chicago. Tomchei LA. Achiezer. Living Smarter Jewish. The Florida Ozer Center. Shalva. Shalom Task Force. Rockland Chesed Network. We are the financial wing beside them.
They identify and refer. We deliver the year of intensive support. She stays connected to her community the whole way through and goes back to it stronger.
