Every survivor’s story inspires us to do everything we can to never forget all they endured and to now provide them with the best possible care.

When Eduard lost his wife of more than 50 years last month, he was devastated and had nowhere to turn. Without the financial resources to afford a funeral and burial, or any family or close friends to provide him emotional support, the Y stepped in — arranging to have the funeral service cost covered with the help of the Free Hebrew Burial Association and burial fees through the New York Times Neediest Cases Fund. The Y also arranged for a Russian-speaking volunteer to accompany him — connecting him with a rabbi, attending the funeral service, and bringing him back to his home in Washington Heights.

After surviving the 900-day Siege of Leningrad and eventually moving to Washington Heights, Ida thought her obstacles were behind her. 今 99 and having lost her husband at the beginning of the pandemic, she struggles with medical challenges, 食料不安, isolation, financial hardship, and PTSD from the War. 今日, the Y ensures Ida knows she’s not alone — providing her with hot delivered meals, emergency financial assistance, transportation to medical appointments, and emotional support.
