Devorah made my wedding possible. As an out of towner with little support she helped put together the funds and the details of my wedding. My engagement experience was so calm and stressfree all thanks to her and the wonderful work her organization does!

As a teenager, I was involved with the KSCVK organization as a volunteer. I have allways found the work Devorah and her staff do unbelievable! I didn't realize the extent of her amazing work until I myself got engaged. I am the youngest of a large family. My parents did not have the funds to pay for the "brides" portion of the festivities. My husband is from california, therefore, his family did not know anything about making a wedding in New York. Devora took care of our engagement party and our wedding with great attention to every detail. She made the splitting of the funds that both sides respectively are responsible for go smoothly... even though my portion was being funded by the organization. She ran the wedding superbly. Also, the fact that it was a service being provided out of charity, was not noticable at all!!!

with a son-in-law who just became an orphan & our finances down the drain, Devorah helped us not only financially, but also with directions and contacts to make the wedding a beautiful and not-to-stressful experience. she had suggestions and information for the special needs of some of the guests, expalined the best for the financial situation and supplied for most all of the finances that either side were unable to. (i don't know how she was able to do it, but i am glad that she did) she was there and hands on from the beginning until the cleaning crew. we can't thank her enough May G-d bless her & her family for all the self-sacrifice she continues to do!! i hope & wish i will be financially able to support her work.

Devorah Benjamin helped with our son and now daughter-in-law's lechayim and wedding. We are not frum and are from out of town so were advised to turn to Devorah for help and advice. She made all the planning so easy and painless and recommended trusted vendors who were able to give us discounted pricing. No matter how busy Devorah was, she always returned phone calls and e-mails immediately (often during a wedding where she was working) to answer our questions and offer assurance. No question was ever too silly, no worry was ever too trivial - she addressed them all patiently. Devorah works tirelessly and selflessly and despite the many demands on her time, she always made us feel like we were her only concern. At our children's wedding, she was coordinator, traffic cop, personal assistant, advisor, consultant, friend, and angel. Thanks to Devorah, their wedding went off without a hitch - everything was beautiful and none of our guests would have known where she was able to shave costs. Thank you Devorah, we are indebted to you!

Thirteen years ago my daughter became engaged. I lived in CA and my daughter was in Canada and someone told me about Keren Simchas (Devorah Benjamin). I had no idea how I was going to make a wedding for my daughter and here was this organization who not only helped out financially, but the planning as well. Devorah kept in touch with me from start to finish! Over the years I have seen her do the same for hundreds of brides.

Devorah and KSCVK helped us make the chasunas for several of our children. We live very far away, and being shluchim, our finances are somewhat lacking. We would have been hard put to make the weddings without their help.
