How to find hospital & Shabbos support
Healing Hearts addresses a challenge felt by Jewish families around the world—being in the hospital over Shabbos. Concerns like kosher food, a place to stay, and access to Shabbos essentials can quickly add stress to an already difficult situation.
Across South Florida, Healing Hearts has established more than 15 kosher rooms in hospitals, stocked with snacks, meals, and complete Shabbos packages. They also provide Chessed Homes near major medical centers, offering families a comfortable place to stay while supporting a loved one. In addition, Healing Hearts connects individuals with medical and insurance referrals.
So whenever you need it, whether it’s a last-minute hospital stay or kosher food over Shabbos, Healing Hearts has you covered. Open their full listing for contact details, or learn more in the Jewgo app. Explore Hollywood, Aventura, and Boca Raton organization listings for local context.
Mental health & therapy financial help
Here’s a story that highlights a real need in the community. Two educators in Coral Springs spent over 15 years working with hundreds of students. During that time, they identified one of the biggest barriers preventing teens from getting the mental health support they needed: cost. Therapy can be expensive, and for many families, that financial burden becomes a barrier to seeking help.
In 2023, they founded Refoeinu to address this roadblock. The organization gives funding to eligible families, ensuring teens can access therapy and support without delay or financial strain. By removing cost as an obstacle, Refoeinu helps teens receive care earlier, build resilience, and move toward long-term healing and growth.
