About Azras

When the going gets tough, Azras offers a hand up to get people in need back on their feet.

In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, medical services industry leader Samuel Fisch saw the devastation hardworking people suffered. He learned how much getting a little help during the tough times could matter. So he founded Azras. 

For over a decade, Azras has provided compassionate support through counseling, referrals to free services, and essential cash assistance to cover housing, food, and medical care. 

We’ve helped thousands of individuals and families in the New York City metro area get the relief, stability, and services they need to rebuild their lives. We believe that no one should face hardship alone, and we’re committed to offering hope and a hand up to people when they need it most.
