Community Happenings
JIAS (Jewish Immigrant Aid Services) is celebrating 100 years in Canada! As part of our celebration, JIAS Toronto is partnering with the Ontario Jewish Archives to collect immigration stories from across the community to capture the diverse immigration journeys that families have taken and the new lives they have built in Canada.
Check out our Stories Celebrating 100 Years for inspiration and to share your own or your family’s immigration journey – whether it was last year, last decade, or last century!
Also check us out on social media to keep updated on what is happening at JIAS, 100th year celebration events, and to follow the amazing stories that are shared with us.

Danielle Crone now has End Stage Kidney Disease and desperately needs a
life-saving donor surgery.
Danielle is now working with Renewal, a remarkable non-profit organization. We are hoping that you or someone you know is able and willing to do the incredible kindness of donating a kidney in order to save a life. There are many that have donated a kidney, and their health is fine.
To learn how you can save a life or for more information about kidney donation,
please call 416-628-7633 or email toronto@renewal.org.
Renewal’s website is https://www.renewalcanada.org.
All inquiries to Renewal are strictly confidential and are without any obligation. They can also put you in touch with others who have donated a kidney and are willing to share their experience. All medical costs for evaluations and surgery are covered by OHIP. Auxiliary costs such as travel expenses and lodging, will be covered by Renewal. Please share this message to as many people as you can. You never know whether or not there is someone out there who will respond to this urgent need.
Thank you,
The Crone Family
