This is a long episode, but such an important one.

In the nearly 12 months that Humans of The Fed has aired, something we have struggled with is bringing you stories from Fed clients, in first-person, told from the point of view of clients themselves.

This is because our work is so confidential - and in many cases so complex and upsetting - that talking about it in public is simply not an option.

This is particularly restricting for us when you remember that more than 6,500 people across the Jewish community in Greater Manchester benefit from The Fed's support - that's a staggering 1-in-7 homes.

That is why we are so grateful, and humbled, by Elayne Halpern's willingness to talk to us on the record about her experiences with The Fed. She talks us through the trauma, the tears, and the teamwork, and how reaching out to The Fed in her darkest moments have been a desperately needed lifeline.
