For my Bat Mitzvah project I decided to raise money to help kids who struggle with anxiety. This is especially important to me because some of my family members that I am close to struggle with psychological problems, and as a person who has supported and helped them overcome some of their mental challenges I understand how hard it is to cope with anxiety on your own. Thats why I am raising money for UCLA CARES, so kids who face these challenges will have help along the way and won't have to face them alone.
