Londoner Jonathan, 38, started 2020 full of hope and expectation. He was the chief operating officer of two cyber security start-ups with major universities as clients and he and his wife were expecting their first child.
But by the time their baby was two-months-old, the couple had both lost their incomes and were struggling even to afford nappies.
Jonathan was one of 235 recipients of financial support from the emergency fund launched in April by Work Avenue and the Jewish Leadership Council to help Jews impacted by the coronavirus crisis.
Just under £420,000 has been distributed to struggling families in 72 UK postcodes.
