"Being able to impact and ease the lives of in need Holocaust survivors living below the poverty line is a transforming and special blessing."

Abner and Roslyn Goldstine truly have hearts of gold.

Realizing that the services available to Holocaust survivors living below the poverty line was not adequate to provide for their basic needs, the couple established the Abner D. and Roslyn Goldstine Fund for Holocaust Survivors through the nonprofit organization, Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles (JFS) in 2007. The impact of the fund is impressive and continues to grow - about 267 Holocaust survivors have received home care or financial emergency assistance. The fund provides a sense of hope and dignity to aging, low-income Holocaust survivors and their families who need food, shelter and essential health services. It enables them to live the rest of their lives with dignity and comfort.

"Continuing a family legacy of volunteerism, sharing my good fortunes, passionate about helping, the feeling of fulfillment from playing a small part in improving society...philanthropy is phenomenal!"
