MEDAL OF HONOR
AWARDS SENT TO RESCUERS
In March, awards were sent to all JFR supported Righteous. Each rescuer received $2,000 USD.
The rescuers are so appreciative that we have remembered them and are taking care of them during this time. They send emails through their children and grandchildren thanking the JFR and each of you for the funds that they receive. They send their good wishes!
On behalf of the rescuers, we at the JFR thank you as well for making their lives so much better and brighter. Please click here to read the notes from the rescuers.
