An only child, Sarah Rivkah was 9 years old when her mother passed away after 6 ½ years of battling an illness. Her father remarried a few months later.

The loneliness she felt following her mother’s passing sparked a determination to one day provide comfort and support to teen girls dealing with parental loss. She founded Links Family in 2006, with the publication of the first issue of Links Magazine, and has continuously expanded the scope of the organization as she seeks to address the specific needs of each child.
