Working together with love this past year, we were able to serve 3,080 children in all of our lifesaving programs which are all fully open and operating live and in-person. We are grateful to our amazing frontline professional staff and we did not suffer a single pandemic-related program closing or staff layoff. In effect, the only thing that truly changed at JAFCO during this challenging year, is our increased level of gratitude for the health and safety of our extended JAFCO family which includes our children, our families, our volunteers and our donors. We have realized more than ever before, that we are truly better together. There were precious babies and children who moved from dangerous conditions to their loving foster and adoptive families. We celebrated high school graduations of the children living at the Children’s Village, as well as a momentous UF graduation and a Wharton MBA graduation for one of our esteemed alumni who is now a member of our JAFCO Children’s Foundation Board of Trustees and our Alumni Circle a group to keep our alumni in contact, helping their peers who might be struggling, because we are better together. At the Children’s Village, we quickly transitioned to home schooling for over two dozen children ranging from kindergarten to college, and we had more children who made honor roll than ever before! To strengthen their immunity the children grew their own organic vegetables and participated in daily workout routines in addition to wellness and mindfulness activities such as meditation and drumming. Our weekly Shabbat dinners continued to provide spiritual support to the children and our 2020 Passover table for 40 children was likely the largest live seder that took place in the world. This past Jewish New Year while all shuls remained closed due to COVID-19, our (Noni and Alan Aufzien) Children’s Sanctuary was open allowing our children to start the year off with hope as they listened to the blast of the shofar and participated in our traditional JAFCO-created Torah-passing ceremony where each child has their own moment to hold and kiss the Torah before carefully passing it on to a friend – all with a huge smile on their faces. Every year during this special ceremony, there are tears of joy as I am reminded that as a Jewish community, we are better together. Our JAFCO clinical social work staff both in Florida and Pennsylvania never stopped supporting and reaching out to keep families strong and together. Our social workers risked their own health on the frontline, sending our communities a clear message that we are better together. When 100% of summer camps closed for the summer, we were concerned about how we could ensure safety from the pandemic but we also worried about how our Ability Center families would manage with three more months at home with their children without a break. In one moment, the right thing to do became abundantly clear after our community suffered the tragic drowning of Alejandro Ripley, a 9-year old child with autism, by his own mother who was so stressed. Hearing this JAFCO responded immediately and the next day we were one of the only open on-site summer camp and respite programs in the entire South Florida community, because working alongside our families, we are always better together. At Eagles’ Haven we held a three year commemoration of the 2/14 MSD school shooting tragedy with a full-day in-person outdoor wellness event. With the release of 17 beautiful doves, our community stood together as one, with tears in their eyes and love in their hearts for those we lost and for the families who are grieving each and every day. Especially during difficult times, we are better together. JAFCO is fully open and will transition to in-person live fundraising events and tours starting in the summer. The need for JAFCO and our lifesaving mission became crystal clear during the pandemic and we thank all of you for the love and support you have shown us this past year. We could not have done it alone, and we emerge from this experience stronger Alone we can and certain that we are better together. do so little; together we can do so much.
