“Jim, we’re sorry,
but we have to let you
go-
When Jim’s company had to retrench, his life and his
family’s life turned upside down for 5 months.
Then, last December, a Super Sunday caller asked Jim
to contribute to the 1986 Federation/United Jewish Ap
peal Campaign. Here’s what Happened in Jim’s words.
V “I don’t know why, but I told him I was out of work.
He helpfully asked if I would accept a call from the
Federation’s Jewish Social Services worker. 1 felt cared
about, and I said yes.
“She called the next day and we met several times. She
gave me the support, encouragement and practical help
I needed to start over.
“The ICC arranged for my family to remain active
members. My son was able to continue at the Hebrew
Academy. Then, when my grandmother needed it, the
Blumenthal Home worked it out for her to be admitted.
“I’m back on my feet now and paying my way again.
I’ll never forget how the Federation and everyone else
helped when I needed it. ”
Jim could be your neighbor, your friend, your brother or yourself. The 35
institutions supported by you through the Federation are here for
everyone. With your help we’ll continue to do what must be done.
