Question
Can I use funds from the Friendship Fund, as I have a sick child?
Answer
Shalom and blessings. There is no prohibition against benefiting from non-Jewish funds that support families of the sick or sick children. However, in the case of the Friendship Fund, there is a missionary Christian purpose, and money from such an organization does not bring blessing, and it is recommended to avoid taking from them. One who refrains from taking money from an impure source is rewarded with abundant blessing and success. With the help of Hashem, may you soon merit a complete recovery for your child and abundant livelihood.
