Terms and Conditions

Our goal is to raise $100,000 in the event of the passing r”l of one of our members—shliach or shlucha—if they have an unmarried child thirty years and under. Membership is per family, and includes the shliach and shlucha; couples do not need to apply separately. Each member will be charged $72 per collection.

  2. The funds are placed into a secure account, from where they are transferred directly to the family.
