A promise of tomorrow

The sun has set, and the shiva chairs have been folded away. The last visitor has left the house and the family is now on their own. Alone in fear, despair and agony, they stand helpless- about to enter a new era of longing and pain. The new reality hits hard.

And yet, despite it all, a thin stretch of light flickers on. Project Yedid returns happiness and light in the homes of almanos and yesomim, warming the hearts of thousands once again.

Camp Fund Packages

Annual Cost
$300,000

An escape, a safe haven, this is what sleep-away camp is to yesomim. But along with the serenity and happy smiles comes an expensive price tag that many almanos can’t afford. Project Yedid hand - delivers over 500 camp packages to yesoimim attending sleep-away and day camps around the tri-state area and makes them feel cared about.

simchasimcha

Simcha & Emergency Fund

Annual Cost
$1,000,000

With no breadwinner in the house, a simcha can be overwhelming and almost impossible to bring to life. Project Yedid aims in assisting the families on those days. Whether it’s a driver the day of the Chasuna, raising funds, or any emergency which may come up, Project Yedid is there to help them walk it through in happiness.

paper goodspaper goods

Paper Goods

Annual Cost
$300,000

Everyday essentials can be hard to attain when there’s no father in the house. Project Yedid sends boxes full of paper goods to almanos throughout the year, to help them with the day-to-day basics.

Project Yedid realized that there is a real void that needs to be filled. We saw how lonely the yesomim felt. We saw how hard the almanos worked to juggle without their spouse. We saw that, whether we like it or not, we need to step in. Project Yedid is continuously developing more programs designed to make every day and every Yom Tov, just a bit more bearable.
