NOW In Palm Beach County, approximately 5,000 of the remaining Holocaust Survivors are living in poverty and

isolation, existing on meager pensions. They survived unspeakable cruelty in their youth and are still suffering today.

We couldn’t rescue them then, but we can help them now.

MorseLife Health System is committed to helping these special members of our community live the rest of
their lives with the dignity and security they deserve, by providing nutritious food, home health care, transportation to
doctors’ appointments, companionship and other necessities.

We need your help.The cost of these basic services is thousands of dollars per Survivor per year, depending upon
the level of need.
Please donate today as we fulfill this sacred responsibility.
