They Would Cry If They Could — Help Children with Familial Dysautonomia
Familial Dysautonomia (FD) is a rare and heartbreaking genetic disorder that robs children of the ability to feel pain, regulate temperature, or even cry real tears. It disrupts the body’s automatic functions — swallowing, breathing, digesting, and responding to stress — turning ordinary moments into daily battles for survival. Yet through it all, children with FD show remarkable strength, laughter, and determination. Behind every child with FD stands a family fighting for comfort, care, and hope. With your support, FD-UK.org provides that vital lifeline — funding essential medical treatment, equipment, and travel for specialist care not available through the NHS.
“As a parent of someone who has FD, I am so grateful for the charity’s ongoing support, which is not supported by the NHS. The charity supports literally anything from a private GP in an emergency , to paying for a piece of equipment. Thank you so much for being there, always.” Rosalind Jacobs
The charity also supports pioneering research, helps train UK doctors and therapists, and brings world experts to share their knowledge so that every child receives the best possible care. Your generosity can make a real difference — helping a child to breathe more easily, grow stronger, and live longer. Every donation brings us one step closer to a future where no child suffers alone. Please give today — your compassion can change lives. Donations can be made securely via: https://donorbox.org/fd-uk-donations
Together, we can replace pain with comfort, fear with the sound of a child’s laughter

Jewish Children’s Holidays Fund
Enfield
EN1 9SH
For over 125 years we have worked closely with other Jewish organisations to provide summer holidays for needy and underprivileged Jewish children who would otherwise go without.
During two weeks full of fun and friendship at a residential or local holiday camp they can take part in activities that include outings, quizzes, sports and swimming, whilst they socialise with other children and possibly gain respite from difficult family or personal circumstances.
The camps are strictly Kosher and Shabbat observant. We include camps with children who have disabilities. Subsidies are available and no child is turned away for financial reasons.
Please help us to support the many Jewish children who desperately need and deserve a holiday that many of us take for granted.

Registered Charity No. 1105845
Most of us will eventually face the trauma of hearing loss, or already have a loved one who is. With your help we can:
• Support families – from the devastating diagnosis of their baby’s deafness – and enable a new generation of deaf children to fulfil their potential and flourish
• Rescue older people living in care homes from isolation and loneliness and enable them to chat, join in activities and enjoy their final years
• Give lifelong care and support to vulnerable deaf and deafblind people
• Help more people to adapt to traumatic changes as they lose their hearing.
JDA enables people living with deafness to cope with whatever challenges life brings – as no other organisation can. We receive no statutory funding and depend on legacies and donations to provide a lifeline for the Jewish community and beyond.
