Joshua Gerson's Campaign

Please join me in raising funds for United Hatzalah of Israel. I am doing this in honor of Joshua Gerson's Bar Mitzvah.

Message to sponsors:

A life is worth an infinite amount of money. To be able to save one for only a few hundred dollars is worth every penny. Join me in raising funds to sponsor a day of lifesaving at United Hatzalah.

Donations raised to date:
