“When we were 6 years old, my twin brother and I had the pleasure of being in Circle of Care for
a while after our mom passed away from cancer. I’m not sure the people there know exactly how
much they did for us. The people were incredibly kind, loving and caring. They got through to me
and helped me see not only what was in the past, but also the future. I celebrated my bat mitzvah
recently, and my brother and I are donating part of our earnings to Circle of Care. We hope that it
continues to help young kids cope with hard situations.”
