Terri and Paul then saw a whole other side of the Federation, when they needed help in finding the right continuum of care facility for Paul’s mother. “It was the most unbelievable thing”, Terri recounts. “It was the first time I needed help and luckily I had people at the Federation I could turn to.” Last year, Terri participated in the International Lion of Judah Conference where she learned about the Lion of Judah Endowment program and became interested in taking that next step in her philanthropic journey. She had just started the process of updating her will and planned to include the Federation as a beneficiary. In May, that process was completed. “The pandemic was a reminder to me that the critical work of the Federation never stops. It motivated me to formalize my legacy commitment.” Terri added, “the Federation made Miami feel like a home for us. Thankfully, I’m in a position to help and I feel strongly that it is my responsibility as a Jew to be there for my community both now, as a Lion of Judah, and when I’m no longer here as a Forever Lion .”
