providing kosher meals and a place to stay for families of patients, we see it
come to life in you. You don't just support this mission, you embody it. It's
about lifting spirits, easing a burden, and making sure no one feels alone
during their hardest days. What inspires us most is not only the countless
hours you give, but the way you give them: with humility, compassion, and
a heart full of kindness. You remind us all that one act of chesed can
transform a moment, a day, even a life. Sharon, we are proud to call
you our friend, our role model, and our inspiration.
