Jewish welfare kept me off the street
My name is David Mrost. I am a middle-aged gent who is supported by Jewish welfare at Sandringham Gardens in Johannesburg.
David Mrost, Johannesburg
Due to mental illness, I am not able to work. Jewish welfare has supported me through thick and thin, and has been there for me when I needed it the most.
I would like to thank the following people for being there for me: the chief executive, my financial social worker, Dorit Gold, my social worker manager, Gerrard, of Sandringham Square/Lodge, and in general, all the staff of Jewish welfare. Without them, I would be on the street by now. A special word of thanks to Rabbi Jonathan Fox, who I have always been able to speak to when needed.
