Julia's take on supporting Kline Galland Hospice Service

I decided to join J.Team because I heard about it from a friend who was very enthusiastic and spoke highly of the program. I became interested in the overall concept, that a group of Jewish teens could learn about nonprofit organizations and have an opportunity to donate money to them. So far, I have been very impressed in the group and am very happy to be part of the experience. While visiting the Kline Galland Home, we met with Administrator David Brumer. He specifically focused on the Kline Galland Hospice Service, which provides care to meet the physical, emotional, spiritual and practical needs through people's last phase of their life due to terminal illness. The Hospice program helps people live out their remaining days as fully and as comfortably as possible, with the support of Jewish customs. I think this is important that a Hospice, with the support of Jewish beliefs, is available to our community because it shows that we care for the most vulnerable people in our community and they live with dignity. I also appreciate that they do not only support the patient but also the families in their time of need.
