This year, for my sister Deena’s birthday, I’m raising money for Yachad. Your support and encouragement in helping me reach my goal of $1000, would mean the world to me.

Yachad is an organization that has been there for me and Deena in more ways than our family could have ever imagined. It’s a place where I was privileged enough to work with and meet incredible people who continue to inspire me every day. People who truly live and breathe Yachad’s slogan: “Because everyone belongs!”

There will never be words to express how incredibly grateful I am to everyone who has been, and continues to be, there for Deena and my family.

Deena is the person in my life who teaches me the value of walking before we run. The importance of appreciating all the small things in life because too often it’s all so unpredictable. The truest meaning of the word Acceptance.

Deena, this is for you.
