Selfhelp is indeed grateful for the generous support awarded to us by The Anita K. Hersh Philanthropic Fund, administered by Anita’s dear friends Jeanne-Marie Champagne and Irene Kohn. These funds are providing much needed Emergency Financial Assistance and Caregiving Assistance to Holocaust survivors in need – honoring both Anita’s commitment and Selfhelp’s mission to serve as the “last surviving relative” for every survivor in need.
