Help the people who taught us to prevent genocide today.

70 years ago, the people iVolunteer serves lost their families and their freedom to hatred and violence. Then they came to America and rebuilt their lives and families, serving as an inspiration to all of us.

They taught us to stand up for what is right, to speak out against injustice and made us promise to make the world a better place. They are our friends, and neighbors, and they are  parents and grandparents.

Today, they are facing their own challenges--aging, poverty and disease. Many are disconnected from their families because of distance and the inability to use today's technologies.

In New York City, as many 5,000 are lonely and look forward to visits from young people who help them schlep groceries,  read them stories, and make them feel loved and remembered. When they find emergencies, volunteers are trained to let the right people know, so that the affected survivor can get the professional help they need from mainstream agencies.

Our Holocaust survivors are our last witness to a history that is a warning about how people can treat each other. In their lifetimes they have suffered. Our goal at iVolunteer is to treat them with the respect and dignity they deserve in their waning days.

Help us help them.
