Your support changes lives for families like Maria’s in Connecticut. When Maria was diagnosed with gastric cancer, the severe side effects of treatment forced her to quit one of her jobs, cutting her household income and leaving her worried about how to keep up with bills and care for her son. Thanks to donors like you, JAF provided a Food Security Grant and a Financial Assistance Grant toward her rent—making sure Maria and her son had food on the table and a safe place to call home while she focuses on healing. Your generosity gives families hope and stability during their toughest moments.
