IN THEIR OWN WORDS: BORROWER TESTIMONIALS
"Receiving support from your agency has been a blessing in my life. When I couldn’t return to work after undergoing back surgery, and my living expenses threatened to overwhelm me, I felt lost. However, thanks to the compassionate assistance provided by JFLT, I was able to access the funds I needed to keep food on the table.”
David
“Thanks to JFLT, I was able to focus on my studies and fully immerse myself in my academic pursuits. The financial assistance provided by Jewish Free Loan honestly lifted a huge weight off my shoulders, and I’m not sure I would have made it into medical school without that.”
Leah
“After years of hoping and trying to start a family, the financial burden of fertility treatments seemed insurmountable. Thanks to the generosity and support of the Jewish Free Loan, we were able to pursue and achieve our dream of parenthood. We are forever grateful for this incredible opportunity and the kindness it represents."
Jason and
Noah
“I do not know where I would be today without your organization. I took a loan to pay first and last month’s rent after leaving an abusive relationship. That an organization like this exists to provide a safety net for anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation, is amazing. It is a real mitzvah to help people like this.
