Direct Aid
The Direct Aid Program was created for local Jewish families and the elderly who, as a result of situations beyond their control, are unable to afford basic needs.
Individuals and families who find themselves in a fragile economic situation as a result of job loss, illness, disability, low income, or an accident may apply for assistance.
We offer assistance in the following fields:
- Education – co-financing nursery, kindergarten or school fees, purchase of school supplies and participation in extracurricular activities
- Healthcare – subsidizing treatment, recovery, immunization, medical, rehabilitation and physical therapy equipment
- Targeted benefits – subsidizing housing fees, school lunches, purchase of winter clothing for children, purchase or repair of necessary household items
Each family grapples with their own unique issues, therefore we guarantee an individual approach to each application.
In the past, we have provided financial assistance to families for: medical treatment, food, rent payment, the purchase of fuel, school supplies, necessary clothing and footwear, as well as repairs to household appliances.
Children’s Development
Supporting children’s development is an investment in their future and ours.
We want the youngest members of our community to be able to develop their interests and talents as best they can. The PUSZKE Foundation supports kids by awarding special educational scholarships.
For children struggling with different types of issues, we offer subsidies for tutoring, extra classes, purchasing textbooks, as well as specialized psychological support.
In addition, the PUSZKE Foundation subsidizes participation in sports camps and extracurricular activities related to physical activity. Sport integrates, teaches the principles of fair play, patience and perseverance and, above all, social skills. We support young athletes! We appreciate persistence, passion and healthy competition.
