A Letter From One Family Fund

Website: http://www.onefamilyfund.org

Dear Friends,

Terrorism leaves huge voids in the lives of survivors. When family members are
killed or seriously injured, whole lives are shattered. Our mission at the One Family Fund is to rebuild these devastated lives as completely and as compassionately as
possible.

One of the things that terrorism often takes away from its victims is the ability to celebrate. Whether it's a holiday or family event, the memory of what was and is no longer is a source of tremendous pain for those left behind, and this is particularly acute during those times when victims should be celebrating with their loved ones.

One Family is proud to join with OnlySimchas.com in launching the Special
Initiative to Match Celebrations and Heighten Awareness (S.I.M.C.H.A.) fund, to
assist victims of terrorism in bringing a measure of happiness back into
their lives. By sponsoring a Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah, Brit Milah, and wedding
celebration, you are showing the victims and survivors that life can go on and that they can celebrate happy occasions, which will bring a measure of normalcy back into their lives.

OnlySimchas.com was launched so that Jewish people throughout the world who are celebrating happy occasions can share them with others via the Internet. Together we are taking this concept one step further, by sharing the Simchas of those around the world with the Simchas of those in Israel who have been directly hurt by terrorism.

Our sages tell us, "It is a great Mitzvah to be happy". It is even more worthwhile to make others happy and facilitate their celebration. Through the S.I.M.C.H.A. fund, OnlySimchas and its members, together with One Family, are achieving this aim.

Because we really are one family.

Sincerely,

The One Family Fund
