"When people come to
Hebrew Free Loan, they are
often disheartened, nervous
and vulnerable; and by the
time they enter our offices,
they have come to the end of
their financial options.
"It can be a humbling
and emotional experience to
seek help; and we try to ease
fears and to listen without

cared for; and in return, we
hope to establish a connection
with them so we can work
together to solve their issues."
