An organization helped out the family when the Vayntrub family first moved to the United States. She said, “We had a lot of help when we got to America. One of the organizations that helped us, they had a record of all the money they spent on us for our health care bills and education programs, and so my favorite thing that I’ve done is just pay them back because they invested in us. It’s my karmic duty to help them because we’ve been helped so much.” We are so glad to hear that she is paying it forward.
