JEWISH APARTMENTS & SERVICES HECHTMAN FIRE RELIEF FUND
Nearly 100 elderly residents lost their homes and belongings when a devastating fire engulfed Hechtman II on April 9 on the Eugene and Marcia Applebaum Jewish Community Campus in West Bloomfield. The Jewish Apartments & Services’ staff and local firefighters are to be commended for the superlative way that they handled the crisis, safely evacuating all the residents whose average age is 89. Many Jewish communal agencies also responded to the crisis, assisting the residents and JAS staff that day and afterwards. It was amazing to see the outpouring of help and support from our Jewish community.
To date, there have been sufficient donations of household goods and clothing. Currently, our greatest need is monetary donations to meet the financial needs of the residents as they secure new living arrangements. To assist the agency in meeting these monetary needs, Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit has established the Hechtman Fire Relief Fund and is accepting donations that will be given to the agency to benefit the displaced residents and aid in the recovery.
