Hi! It's Michaela here, and I’m sending this out during a break from preparing for my Bat Mitzvah.

As part of this important milestone in my life, I wanted to focus on giving back to those in need. Inspired by my Torah portion, which highlights the value of tithing and helping others, I’ve decided to raise funds to create care bags for people in our community who may be struggling. These bags will contain essential items that can be easily handed out when we come across someone asking for help.

My goal is to create 200 care bags, which will be handed out at my upcoming ceremony. I’m asking for your support to cover the costs as well as support a local organization which provides critical services and meals to those in need, the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Marin County.

Your donation will help make a real difference in our community, and I’m so grateful for your support
