Pitt Fund for Special Needs will help with
health costs through Hebrew Free Loan.

T

he term “special needs”
encompasses a wide range
of challenges. Recognizing
that the developmental, emotional
and physical needs of some children
and adults can require additional and
sometimes costly life adjustments,
one-time expenses and long-term ser-
vices, the Pitt Fund for Special Needs
was established at Hebrew Free Loan.
Spearheaded by Murray and Ina Pitt,
the fund offers interest-free loans in
amounts up to a maximum of $10,000.
“It gives our family great pleasure to
start a special needs fund at Hebrew
Free Loan,” Murray Pitt said. “Over the
years, HFL has proven to be well-run,
well-financed and a tremendous asset
to our community. HFL’s involvement
in the special needs community will,
hopefully, bring additional support to
an underserved community of those
who so need it.”
This program, an HFL partnership
with Friendship Circle, JARC and
Kadima, offers interest-free loans to
qualifying Jewish families in Michigan
that can be used to cover expenses
involved with equipment, therapies,
programs and services that help a
person with physical and/or mental
disabilities.
Examples include home modifica-
tion or personal equipment needs,
such as wheelchair ramps, vehicles
with wheelchair lifts, hearing aids or
specialized car seats/wheelchairs not
covered by insurance; a school para-
professional, therapeutic services, resi-
dential services or respite/child care,
or help with future planning, such as
legal fees to help families create a plan
or trust for their loved one.
“Kadima is grateful to HFL and
the Pitt family,” said Eric Adelman,
Kadima executive director. “This
fund will provide desperately needed
financial relief for Kadima clients and

others managing mental health chal-
lenges. What a great partnership for
our community.”
Levi Shemtov, Friendship Circle
executive director, adds, “Many
Friendship Circle families will benefit
from the fund. Supportive equip-
ment or a guide dog or a special
camp program — these are just a few
of the diverse expenses that can be
covered. HFL carries a torch of the
great tradition that Jewish communi-
ties throughout the ages have had of
providing interest-free loans in times
of need. HFL and the Pitt family are to
be lauded for adapting this value to the
evolving needs of our community.”
HFL Executive Director David
Contorer notes, “One of the reasons
HFL continues to be of service after
120 years is the agency’s ability to
accommodate our borrowers. We see
that these families need additional
options and funding to make life bet-
ter for the adults and children they
love and care for, and we couldn’t be
more grateful to the Pitt family for
their support.”
“The Pitt Fund makes caring for
loved ones more manageable,” said
Robert Blumenfeld, CEO of JARC.
“The entire family is supported —
every family member’s quality of life is
enhanced — and that impact carries
over to the entire community.”
Each borrower should have at least
one, but preferably two, qualify-
ing Michigan cosigner(s) and, once
approved, Hebrew Free Loan will work
with each one individually to make the
repayment terms as flexible as needed.
Borrower information and commu-
nications are strictly confidential.
There are no fees to apply for this or
any Hebrew Free Loan. To learn more,
call Cheryl Berlin at HFL, (248) 723-
8184, Monday through Thursday or go
