Hebrew Free Loan Detroit

Ann Mendelsohn is a retired nurse whose husband,
as he aged, developed a memory condition known as
Organic Brain Syndrome.
“As time went on, I found he wasn’t paying bills, and
because of his condition, he didn’t remember. He didn’t
remember how to do so many things, and I was left to
figure it out,” Ann said. “He died having accrued a lot
of debt during his illness. He was a sweet, kind man,
but at the end, he left me with a bunch of headaches.
I found that in order to keep my condo, I was going to
need a loan. I was working at Fleischman Residence,
and one of the Rabbis mentioned Hebrew Free Loan.”
Ann, originally from New England, had no idea
what Hebrew Free Loan was, but she looked it up and
called.
“I was shaking in my shoes when I approached HFL,
not knowing if they would take me seriously,” Ann
said. “Instead, everyone was so kind. It’s one of the
greatest feelings in the world to have people under-
stand what you’re going through. I needed help, and
as tough as things were, I managed to get back on my
feet, with their assistance.”
Ann paid off her loan and used HFL again, this time
when she was notified by her condo association that
her doorwall would need replacing.
“HFL was kind enough to help me again, which was
a relief, because $1,500 doesn’t just come in by air-
mail,” Ann said. “It also helps that there is no interest
to pay, which made a big difference to me. I can’t say
enough kind things about Hebrew Free Loan, and I’m
truly grateful for what they do.”
