Morris

It wasn't so long ago that the entire Moishe House idea was completely reliant on Morris Squire, for better or worse. In fact, none of what we have today would be available or possible without the ideas and generosity of Morris, and while he is no longer contributing to the project with his money, the foundation of his initial generosity really shouldn't be forgotten. Generosity and philanthropy are overlooked in our society, as they illustrate an element of humble selflessness rarely seen. Trying to raise money can present an arduous task, sometimes seemingly impossible. However, in the infancy of Moishe House, when we were still grounded in the Forest Foundation, no one had to make appeals for funding. We could always count on Morris, and I'd be curious to know how many people who received a rent subsidy or a reimbursement check ever actually thanked Morris for providing the opportunities he gave. As Moishe House has grown into a non-profit independent of Morris, we're in a position where seeking funding is imperative to our continuing success. I'm writing this in the hope that if an organization does open up to Moishe House with their generosity, that at some point they will read this and realize that we are truly thankful and humbled by their ability and willingness to give.
