Keren Ezer LeNefesh Event Recap Video

Tonight, you're going to hear from three speakers that are going to wow you. You're going to you're going to get insight about an organization that I think is definitely not well known enough in our community. The budget I think unfortunately is too small or maybe fortunately, right? The model of the organization is we want to subsidize therapy for boys and girls in the Jewish high schools across the country. The organization helped out over 700 schools across the country that they're connected with. We enlist the teachers and the principal as case managers. So whenever a case comes to us, usually through the school, the teacher or the principal is the one that's providing us with progress notes about what's going on. We literally just write out checks to people that are in need of services that people that can't afford and people that need this life-saving help. I could make sure that finances doesn't stand in the way of kids getting help. And I know I don't want to be there looking back and saying, "Oh, this kid, I remember him when he was in a bad state when he was in high school and this kid could have got the help he need, but he couldn't afford it." And when you think about what would have happened if only this person got into treatment before he was 50 years old, before everything was broken, before the marriage was on its final stage, its final step. What if we finally we had a way to to speak to that person when he was younger? He was amidst the struggle and we had the ability to help him. Number one, the treatment is much shorter, costs a lot less, very often doesn't require profound specialty. What's the percentage of these kids who were who have a history of sexual abuse? I wasn't looking at other forms of abuse. I was only looking at sexual abuse. When it came to these organizations with these kids who were there, the lowest number I got, the lowest was 50%. That was the lowest average was 60 to 80%. And girls, by the way, it was above 80%. And I just hope that we we do our part and not only finding those words, some people have the ability to ask those words and other people have the ability to support those who ask those words. To be the one who could contribute to that journey, we save lives. What we don't realize is that there are a lot of people who have high numbers and come from a lot of trauma. But there's another half of Ezel Nevish. There's a lot of people that live regular normal lives, but they have mental health challenges. Their parents are regular people. Their parents are your friends and my friends. Their homes are healthy. But all of a sudden, their fourth kid has an OCD problem. Their third kid has a ton of anxiety just because that's how they're made up. And that pain leads to most of the stories we're talking about. Here's the fact. If you would know the names of the people that this organization is helping, then they wouldn't even need this fundraiser.
