Send us your experiences, kabbalos, quips, and activity ideas during the coronavirus lockdown, and watch this space!

A family who chose to remain anonymous, shared their chesed initiative with us. We were so impressed we want to share it with all of you, too.

Jr.: Tell us a little about your organization.

Our name is Simcha 4 All. Our goal is to bring simchah and joy to as many people as possible. Especially during the coronavirus times.

Jr.: What made you think of this idea?

We were hearing about so many sad things and so much pain that people are going through. We thought maybe we could try to help in some way. If we could bring simchah to people’s homes, then we could be accomplishing a lot. We planned to raise money and buy board games and have them delivered to families before the last days of Pesach.

Jr.: How did you get started?

Our idea came up over the first few days of Pesach and right after Shabbos we got to work trying to raise money. Hashem really helped us because we had so little time and we accomplished so much.

Jr.: What have you distributed so far?

We have baruch Hashem distributed over 200 games, and plan to buy and distribute lots more.

Jr.: How did you raise the funds?

By asking for support from family, friends, and neighbors over the phone. Donations were sent by check in the mail, or via Paypal or Zelle over the computer.

Jr.: How did you deliver the games during lockdown?

We got in touch with a Jewish toy store owner, who helped us choose the most exciting games and gave us the best prices. We drove to his warehouse, opened the trunk, and his gloved and masked workers put all the boxes into the car.

Jr.: What are your plans for the future?

Baruch Hashem, we all have a very “THINK BIG” attitude. Firstly, we are introducing a few contests that children can participate in from home; a Lego building challenge and a drawing contest. Prizes will be Lego sets, Amazon gift cards, and more!

Our hotline is up and running with all the details of these contests. It is being generously sponsored by MTech digital. The hotline number is 929-500-7840. Our email is itsimcha4all@gmail.com

We also hope to expand our game distribution to more and more families, hopefully in time for Shavuos. We hope we’ve made a lot of children happy and many parents, too!!!
