Together, members of the YJA community raised over $1700 for Americares, which will help get important medical relief and supplies to people who need it in Houston and beyond. YJA will be donating an additional $500 to this fundraiser! Jainism shows us the importance of compassion and thinking about our fellow human beings when they are suffering - thank you for joining us in taking a small but positive step to help those in need.
