Each child received Chanukah gelt and a gift and was made to feel the light of Chanukah.
My Extended Family is an organization dedicated to the support and well-being of children from frum single-parent homes, that they feel wanted and loved by the community.
Their goal is to assist single parents in building self-confidence, self – assurance and overall contentment in the children that can help set them on a positive track for the future.
