PROJECT: PUSHKA-PAL

 

 

Remember how your parents and grandparents used to go to the “Pushka” on numerous occasions to give pennies, nickels and quarters to Charity. Whether it was Friday before Shabbos, or the day before a YomTov, or perhaps when someone in the family had survived a serious illness or was facing a dangerous situation of any type– previous generations would use the Pushka as their mode of giving charity, and  expressing a thank you to, or a request of, the Al-mighty.

 

We want to reactivate  the concept of putting money in the Pushka, only now in the age of the computer and the internet, we want to encourage you to access your "Internet Pushka," for all  such occasions for giving. The first time you donate to the LEEBA GAVRIELLA FUND FOR THE NEEDY  via our PUSHKA-PAL project, we will create for you an ongoing account which you can repeatedly access anytime you desire, simply by entering your e-mail address. You can then make a contribution either to one of our several different Tzedakah divions, or directly to our general fund, which we call PUSHKA PAL.  Funds from  PUSHKA-PAL go to a large array of charities, including orphan homes, autism programs, hospitals, cerebral palsy institutions, soup kitchens, disability programs, yeshivas, teenagers at risk facilities, and   abuse prevention and treatment organizations, to name only a few categories, as well as the other 7 divisions of our own fund.

 

Each month we will email you a sumary of your contributions. Additionally, at the time of each donation you will receive an immediate acknowledgement and receipt. We will also send an acknowledgement to any family you have honored or to the relatives of any deceased person you want remembered.

 

We also have the capability of managing recurrent donations; for example, if you would like to donate a specific amount  weekly or monthly, you can so specify.
