A Letter to Jewish Family Service
"I was referred to your agency from a domestic violence shelter. My life was in chaos and I didn’t know where to turn. I came to JFS’s Women Forward program. With caring guidance from your social worker and employment counselor, I enrolled in a legal assistant training program and found a job in a local law firm.
Today my children and I feel safe and secure. We are moving on with life, and please know how grateful I am for your kind and caring assistance."
P.G., Irvine
