To be Jewish is to be present whenever our presence is needed by other Jews.
–Elie Wiesel
 
Seniors are especially vulnerable to financial crisis: Too often, rent and expenses begin to exceed their income by so much, no amount of meal skipping and bill juggling will be sufficient. For others, age, infirmity and memory loss take their toll on the ability to meet their daily needs.

For so many who have no one, or nothing to fall back on, JFS can help.

JFS qualifies each individual, identifies the needs, and can call landlords, FPL, local pharmacies and a variety of service providers to make arrangements to help with critical problems, such as electricity and phone shut-off notices. More importantly, when assistance is needed, such as temporary home care, cleaning services, applications for Medicaid or other government programs, care managers can provide assistance.
