DENVER (KDVR) — Boulder Jewish leadership has created an emergency fund to help support the Jewish community after Sunday's attack that left 12 people injured, including two people who were still hospitalized as of Monday afternoon.
The fund was established by JEWISHcolorado, a nonprofit that aims to convene, connect, invest and protect Jewish life in Colorado, Israel and around the world. The organization created the fund the day after an attack on a peaceful pro-Israel demonstration on the Pearl Street Mall. The suspect in the case is facing a federal hate crime charge and the attack has been described as terrorism by multiple law enforcement agencies.
Total injured in Boulder attack increases to 12; federal hate crime charge filed
'In the wake of yesterday's horrific attacks on peaceful participants at the Run for Their Lives event in Boulder, our community is reeling but standing strong together,' the nonprofit wrote. 'Since the moment this violence occurred, JEWISHcolorado has been in constant communication with Boulder Jewish Community leadership to assess immediate and ongoing needs.'
The nonprofit said that it has a goal of $160,000 for the Boulder community that will be used in response to the attack in four areas: enhanced safety and security measures, direct victim support, comprehensive trauma support and emerging community needs.
The organization said that it would be using the funds to:
Provide additional protections for Jewish institutions, events and gathering places in Boulder County;
Offer immediate financial assistance to individuals directly impacted by the attack to help with medical expenses, lost wages, transportation and other urgent personal needs
Offer professional counseling and healing resources to both direct victims and community members experiencing secondary trauma
Unforeseen challenges that may arise during this period
'Thank you in advance for your support, and we continue to pray for a complete recovery for those injured in the attacks and continue to hold all hostages in our hearts,' the nonprofit wrote.
