Our Winter 2016 campaign’s a little different. You’re invited the honor and/or remember parents and/or grandparents who inspired the life you’re living. It’s a sweet and poignant way to give credit where credit is due, and to help a whole lotta kids along the way.
We are so grateful that you take the time and dollars to support our work. This list of donors is a small but earnest way to thank you. May our efforts bring ever-increasing goodness into young lives!
The campaign continues through December 31, 2016. Please give generously at jonahmac.org/donate.

Susan Laufer … in memory of my late grandma Annie (Chana) Dribinsky, who immigrated from Belarus to the US exactly 100 years ago, but the hard way: eastward! WWI blocked the usual routes westward, so with her toddler firstborn in tow, she headed east on the newly opened trans-Siberian railway, sailed to Japan, crossed Japan, sailed to Seattle, and then took the train across America to join my grandfather in NYC. In 1916, speaking only Yiddish, with a toddler in her arms. What an amazing journey. Ever since I first heard her story, I’ve admired her courage and resilience.

Steve Klaper … may Jonah’s light continue to burn brightly, allowing you to keep illuminating the darkness in our world.
