Melbourne Jewish Charity Fund
MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
We provide more than $60,000 per year to enable proper medical care and equipment to those who otherwise would not be able to afford it. This includes assisting with medical emergencies and ongoing health issues which can significantly impact upon a family's finances and meet their expenses.
We also provide medical equipment on loan with no costs, such as wheelchairs and other mobility equipment.
The fund also has two vans that have been customised for wheelchairs available to the community at no cost. This service removes the mobility hurdle for many families and members of the community who were restricted in their movements due to age, health or physical handicap
"I cannot thank you enough for your support during an incredibly difficult time for our family. The financial assistance you gave us to help cover nursing and feeding program costs for our daughter battling anorexia helped pave the way for her recovery.We are so grateful to be able to let you know that our daughter is now completely recovered and back at school, where she is excelling in her studies."

"I cannot express how much we appreciate your assistance during this time. This year has just been completely overwhelming, with my husband being in hospital for mare than six weeks this year so far, and your monthly support and the help with the insurance was a great source of help for us."
