Polish Assistance
Polish Assistance, also known as "Bratnia Pomoc", is a charitable foundation based in New York City. It was created to provide financial aid to Polish immigrants, especially the elderly.
==History==
Polish Assistance (Bratnia Pomoc), founded in 1956, grants financial aid to Polish immigrants, especially the elderly.〔Callaghan, Edward T. "Bal Polonaise a Tradition in White Tie and Tails." 15 Minutes Magazine. 15 Minutes Magazine Inc, n.d. Web. 8 Aug. 2013. .〕
In its early stages the group sought to raise funds for Polish immigrants who arrived in the U.S. after World War II (WWII) in order to escape communism. . Most of those who were helped were ex-military, former government officials, educators, writers and artists who found it difficult to adapt to their new circumstances in a foreign country.
The nascent organization immediately began to raise funds under the leadership of its founders, Mr. and Mrs. Jan Dembinski. Initially the activity of Polish Assistance consisted of small grants and loans to individuals in need. Eventually, three boarding houses were purchased between 1973 and 1975 in Ocean Grove, New Jersey to accommodate up to two dozen people.. The houses were liquidated between 1992–1998. After the fall of communism in Poland in 1989, another property was purchased near Warsaw, Poland to accommodate those elderly who wanted to return to Poland. Eventually, the property was donated to a Polish foundation for the blind.
