Ben’s Wellness fund has been established in memory of Benjamin Meyer Angerman (Hebrew name Binyomin Meir ben Yitzchak Moshe). Ben was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. He loved the outdoors, taking care of his physical and mental health, being around people, and helping others in need. He was a deep, spiritual seeker. He was a talented musician and loved playing guitar for others. On May 3, 2022, at age 36, Ben lost his life. In his memory, we know he’d like to help others live a full, healthy, meaningful life. He was aware that everyone goes through challenging times, and no one should have to struggle alone.  

Why is the fund called Ben’s Wellness Fund?

A well is a deep, dark source of life that brings community together for the sake of water, hope, and survival. So too, Ben was a deep soul that wanted to give to others, particularly in the area of living a rich, sweet, whole, healthy, spiritual life. He was committed to holistic health and emotional WELLbeing. So too, Ben’s Wellness Fund has been created to help Bring Emotional Needs to the forefront and subsidize the cost of therapy for those in need.
