The Jewish Federation of San Diego County and Jewish Family Service of San Diego announced on Friday that they are teaming up with the Survivors of the Holocaust Emergency Fund, which was originally launched in March by Seed the Dream Foundation and Kavod.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fund is supported by prominent Jewish organizations in 11 other major cities throughout the country. The fund aims to aid those in need of rent support, home repair, and medical care. The organizations are aiming to raise $3.5 million through dollar-for-dollar matching with donors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from financial support, these foundations have developed a national hotline for survivors that allows them to connect with regional support. Holocaust survivors in need of emotional or financial support can call 720-295-8484 for further assistance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These initiatives have been taken due to the alarming rate of despondency within the Holocaust survivor population.
