POLISH ASSISTANCE
Polska Bratnia Pomoc
Providing food, shelter, comfort, and hope to those in need
Our Mission
The Polish Assistance's mission is to provide assistance to persons of Polish origin who are at risk or in crisis due to poverty, mental or physical illness
We share with you a few of our recent cases where your donations matter
- Our oldest recipient is 92 years old and has been receiving assistance since 2021.
- Due to a very restricted diet, one of our volunteers delivers a food package to a homebound woman weekly.
- A family of six has been receiving monthly financial aid from Polish Assistance since 2014.
- We just approved assistance for two underage boys. Their father killed their mother in front of one of them. And now their mother is gone, and their father is in jail for 20 years. How do you recover from this?
- A 5-year recipient of our aid has Stage 5 chronic kidney disease, also known as end-stage renal disease. He has been in this country for 38 years and has no family. It’s heartbreaking.
- These are just a few cases...
Your support enables us to bring stability to these individuals by providing basic needs for housing, food and healthcare
We serve an aging population that unfortunately will not be able to achieve long-term financial stability and most will be life long recipients of our aid.
Helpng the disabled
Helping terminally ill
- We help these individuals in a foreign land live out their lives with dignity.
- 3% of U.S. population declared Polish heritage. Some need help. And we need to be there for them. The official poverty guideline starts at $15,650 per person. We sadly report that our applicants meet this criteria.
- We rely 100% on your financial support to help these individuals as we do not receive any assistance from federal, state nor local agencies. We are solely depended on your contributions..
If you need assistance or know of someone in need of help, we can be reached at 212-570-5560 or office@polishassistance.org
