Imagine starting school not knowing if you have a pencil or paper to use. 

That nightmare is a reality for too many kids right here in San Diego. I am excited to share that I collected school supplies and raised money to purchase additional items for homeless and underprivileged children for my Bar Mitzvah project. Working with Dreams for Change, a wonderful organization that serves homeless and low-income families in San Diego, I set up a marketplace on August 19 for the children to select their backpack and school necessities for the new year.

I collected donations, which went directly to the acquisition of backpacks and school supplies, to set these children up for a successful school year. I greatly appreciate your support and I am extremely proud to practice tikkun olam (the jewish concept of repairing the world) and help the community, I hope you are as ecstatic about helping these children as I am!
 

Thank you!
Mason
