In addition to supporting the community through established programs, the Foundation also helps in individual cases when the need arises.

In 1995 the Foundation stepped in to help a bereaved family, and a shocked community when a Grandmother and five children (ages 13,11,6,3, and 9 months) were killed in a house fire in Hawaiian Gardens when an overloaded extension cord ignited their home. The Foundation paid the family's burial expenses and sponsored a program, which provided free smoke detectors to others in the community in the hope of preventing similar tragedies in the future.

In October 2002, Chris Connell, a Hawaiian Gardens resident and Moskowitz Foundation scholarship award winner died tragically and unexpectedly while attending classes at Cerritos College. The Foundation assisted his bereaved grandmother, Mrs. Gertrude Pearce, and helped bring closure to the family by paying his burial expenses.

" I'm 79 years old and believe me it's nice to know someone in our community is there to help us when all else fails." - Mrs. Gertrude Pearce

EFRAT: Everyday more than 150 babies in Israel are denied life. Their lives are ended, before birth, mostly due to financial difficulties.

EFRAT believes that children are a source of joy and blessing. Children are our future. NO child should be denied the right to exist because of economic reasons. No parent should be denied the pleasure of raising a child because of financial difficulties. In order to save these unborn babies, EFRAT provides their parents financial assistance, including; a brand-new crib, stroller, and baby bath directly to the new mother's home, along with the EFRAT baby kit, which includes a baby blanket, sheets, clothing, bibs, bottles, pacifiers and even a tiny comb and brush set.

The Irving I Moskowitz Foundation gladly helps support EFRAT.
