THE GRANT DIVISION

These monies are given out solely for the purpose of easing the financial strain of making Yom Tov. In addition to the above M.I.L.F. organises the buying of new Yom Tov clothes for underprivileged children in order so they don’t feel different from their more privileged peers, and when necessary, the Charity will help with tuition/expenses of sending a child with specific needs to an appropriate school, whether in the UK or abroad. Throughout the year, M.I.L.F. helps families pay for simchas and any other event that may require financial assistance.
