Help Us Carry Forward Our Mother’s Legacy: Support Sharsheret This Year-End
Dear Friends,
We were only 3 and 5 at the time when our mother, Rochelle Shoretz, was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Back then, in 2001, cancer was a taboo subject. Initially Mom struggled to find someone in a similar situation, who could relate to her concerns about parenting, career, religion and just Jewish life with cancer. Eventually she found all that in a wonderful woman named Lauryn Weiser, a young, Jewish mother of three, who was a few months further along in her breast cancer journey.
From their shared experiences, Mom realized the importance of linking people in similar situations. Mom took that idea and ran with it, creating Sharsheret.
We were personally served by Sharsheret, which provided life-changing assistance to our family during Mom’s fight against cancer. As young children, receiving Sharsheret’s Busy Box helped distract us from the difficult realities of Mom’s cancer treatments.
It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since Mom’s passing. She has missed so many milestones – from graduations to grandchildren to Sharsheret reaching incredible heights, helping more than 275,000 people each year.
Despite Mom’s passing, Sharsheret has continued to grow and develop to help so many people and families who desperately need it. What started as five women around our dining room table has turned into an international movement.
Please join us in making a year-end donation to Sharsheret to ensure that thousands of families just like ours have Sharsheret to lean on in their time of need. To make your year-end donation online today, visit link.Sharsheret.org/EOY
We know that thanks to your generosity, Mom is looking down with pride as we build a healthier and brighter future for the next generation.
With sincere gratitude and best wishes for a happy and healthy Chanukah,
Shlomo Mirsky and Dovid Mirsky
