A Purim Message for the Parents of Teens from Project Extreme

Leave a Comment

Forwarded from a reader. Project Extreme can be visited at www.projectextreme.org.

Dear Family and Friends of Project Extreme,

Each and every one of our children is a precious gem. The 24 hours of Purim pose a real live danger to Jewish children, everywhere. It is these 24 hours that expose many of our youth to the dangers of drinking, driving drunk or riding with a drunk driver and drug use. Purim parties and celebrations may also put our children into challenging peer pressure situations, for which they are unprepared to combat or resist.

Please review the Safe Purim checklist and ensure a safe and joyous Purim for yourself and your entire family.Here are some basic measures that will raise the odds of having a safe and healthy Purim.
  1. Know where your child/teen is at all times
  2. Know who they are hanging out with
  3. Speak to the Designated Driver and check in periodically to assure they are still sober
  4. MOST IMPORTANTLY- Inform your child/teen that it is OK for them to text/call at any time of day or night to ask to be picked up. Create a simple code word/letter they can text you letting you know they are in a situation that makes them uncomfortable for any reason, and assure them that they will be picked up and taken home with no lectures or blame. Read more about how this plan helped one family here.
Purim is a time to celebrate, we are working together to make it a safe celebration. If you have any questions about how to talk to your child, please contact me via ay@projectextreme.org or 516-612-3922.

Wishing you a Freilichen Purim and lots of Nachas from all your loved ones!

Thank You to the Cleveland Community

Leave a Comment

Our families would like to thank the warm Cleveland community who gave generous donations regarding our personal tragedy from January 14, 2018. We are so appreciative of everyone’s thoughtfulness in their caring notes, calls and emails during this difficult time.

If anyone wants to continue to give the campaign is still up and operating at www.gofundme.com/the-dempsey-family.

May we only share in simchas!
