What words can be more painful to a
mother's ear?

Anyone who thinks the recession is over for
everyone should know that the Jewish
Family Service received 210 requests for
financial assistance the first three months of
this year. That's a jump of 40 percent over
1993. Half of the grants went for housing.

"Mommy,
where will we
sleep tonight?"

Human service agencies of the Jewish
Federation know the numbers — but more
important, they know the people behind the
numbers.

Your contribution to the Allied Jewish
Campaign helps provide counseling to
troubled families, emergency financial aid,
loans to cover college tuition and other
needs that can help someone get through a
rough time.

All of these services are provided by benefi-
ciaries of the Jewish Federation of Metro-
politan Detroit. But they cost money. Can we
afford to provide them?

Can we afford not to?

The Jewish future is in your hands. You
decide.

Please make your pledge to the Allied
Jewish Campaign. Now.

Why now?

Campaign pledges received by the
close of Days of Decision will deter-
mine how much money is available.to
each Federation agency and benefi-
ciary. Your payment can wait, but
your community must know now if
there will be enough dollars to meet
vital needs in the year ahead. What
we get is what we give.
