Results Educational Fund

Each day in the developing world, nearly 27,000 children die mostly from malnutrition and preventable diseases In the U.S., one in six children grow up in poverty. Yet we have the resources and the expterise to drastically reduce poverty at home and abroad. All that is missing is the public and political will. The mission of RESULTS Educational Fund (REF) is to create the public will to end poverty in the United States and around the world. We do this by:  Performing research and oversight on U.S. spending related to hunger and poverty domestically and internationally, as well as cutting-edge research on the most effective solutions to some of the world's most urgent problems. Building support for proven poverty-fighting strategies by engaging and educating the public and by encouraging the media to report on solutions to poverty. Recent grassroots media campaigns have focused on the global tuberculosis epidemic, the need to expand microcredit to the poorest families, strengthening Head Start, and expanding children's health care coverage in the U.S. Supporting powerful citizenship by training our volunteers in public speaking, generating media, hosting community forums, and educating their communities and members of Congress on issues related to our campaigns.

Every day brings new challenges to Yitzy as he, his wife and seven children battle the effects of this dreadful disease.  We can only imagine how much pain and suffering the Hurwitz family is going through. Tragically, Yitzy can no longer speak nor does he have any ambulatory abilities.  Yet, his enthusiasm for life is so very evident simply by being in his presence.  Without even saying a word he is able to inspire all who come his way via his faith and perseverance in the face of one of the most horrible diseases known to mankind. We have committed ourselves to paying for all of Rabbi Hurwitz’s medical costs such as daily care and exploratory treatments.  We are also covering the Hurwitz family’s financial burdens during this trying time in order to allow them to spend this critical time together without other worries. Without your vital assistance, all of this would simply be impossible!  We are very grateful that you partnered with us for this special mitzvah.  On behalf of Yitzy and his family, thank you so very much.
