What a thrill it was to gather at last week’s Gala to celebrate the life-changing work of WJCS! We’re so grateful to our courageous clients who shared their powerful stories of struggle and resilience and to our attendees who gave so generously at our Give for Good Auction.
If you missed our spectacular Gala, not to worry! You can hear the personal and inspiring stories shared by WJCS clients at the event by watching their videos below. At our Gala, we heard from people whose lives are immeasurably better because of WJCS.
Meet Sonjaia, who has triumphed over mental health and trauma challenges.
Meet Jessica and Alex, who share how the WJCS POINT program has transformed their lives.
Meet Stefanie, who went from being a relationship violence victim to a social worker in our Margaret’s Place program, which is dedicated to counseling those who have experienced relationship violence.
Meet Miriam, a Holocaust survivor who has found friendship, community, and a sense of belonging at WJCS.
Meet Ben and Robbie, whose beautiful story shows how a volunteer opportunity blossomed into a deep and life-changing friendship—demonstrating the powerful impact companionship and comfort can have on those experiencing isolation and loneliness.
Our Westchester neighbors count on WJCS for support. We count on you. If you haven’t already contributed to our WJCS Give for Good Auction, it’s not too late! Please support WJCS programs by donating here to Give for Good. Your generosity transforms lives.
