Purim is one of the most joyful, fun holidays on the Jewish calendar, but for individuals with sorrow in their hearts, it is difficult to rejoice. Widows, widowers, orphans, the elderly and lonely… all the partying and revelry around them merely serve to highlight their sadness. And when they have financial worries to boot, the heartache is exacerbated by stress

Nobody, Mesamche Lev believes, should be sad on Purim. We wrap and send out beautifully adorned mishloach manos packages for approximately 460 widows and widowers, more than 3,400 orphans, and thousands of broken-hearted, lonely individuals. Envelopes of money are secreted within the baskets, discreetly hidden among fruits, candies and chocolates. Additionally, we provide attractively wrapped games and toys for orphans.
