Don't Let Them Fall

Do you ever wonder, what is our purpose in this world, in life? We all know how we got here, but now what are we supposed to do? Well, I can’t answer that for you but I know one thing – helping others should definitely be one stop in our journey.
Just think, there are a million different people in this world that we don't know. We don't know what kind of trouble they're in, what they're like, ESPECIALLY, who they are!
Bridges DVC is one of many helping organizations but one that's important! It’s a place where it doesn't matter if you know the person personally or not but to be helping anyway, that's the mitzvah!
I have a personal connection to their service! But if you were to put yourselves in these people’s shoes you can’t even imagine how horrible or overwhelming it is. To feel alone, insecure, scared, and to be on the run, ALL THE TIME. But what if it WAS you, wouldn't you want people to help you?
Bridges DVC does just that...FREE OF CHARGE. They provide shelter, a 24-hour crisis hotline, an outreach support group, and help to create a new and better life for people who have been physically, mentality, or sexually abused.
Don't you want to be a part of that? To know that all those people, all those men, women, and children that are waiting for a chance to start over - you may be giving them that chance!
Tzedakah means giving charity – but it also means justice. We right the wrongs in the world with tikkun olam – repairing the world. When we give charity and help these victims of horrible abuse, we can give back what’s been stolen from them. Our kindness can help them get their self-esteem and dignity back. We have the power to help them make their lives whole again.
If you want to help...You can volunteer your time, donate items on their list, or give financial support to the fund.
