A. is a delicate and gentle woman, an immigrant from Ethiopia who married at the age of 22. For years, she endured severe abuse until she found the courage to divorce. A. began working in temporary jobs but had to leave them in order to care for her three children. During a home visit, the lack of basic necessities was evident in every corner. Minimal furniture, two old refrigerators that do not function properly, and a severe shortage of food. Recently, checks she gave at the supermarket to buy food for her children were returned. Providing food assistance to A. is critical.

As children, they grew up as four orphans without a mother. Today, there is one minor child. Their father is disabled… How much pain can their tender souls bear? Despite his disability, due to the difficult financial situation, the father went to work but was severely injured in his eye while on the job, which worsened his condition. The financial situation continued to deteriorate, and the family was evicted from their apartment, which was sold by a trustee to pay off their debts. The children were witnesses to the painful eviction. Since then, every day, they are confronted with the sight of an empty fridge, the helplessness of their father, and a crisis that only deepens over time. Feeding orphans? There is no greater right than this!

Since the age of 16, she has been working, ever since her father became addicted to drugs and her family fell apart. She never shied away from hard work: waitressing, cleaning—anything to survive! Today, she is divorced and a mother of two children, including one minor. Still, she works tirelessly in cleaning. She and her children live in a rented apartment, where the children sleep on mattresses and don't even have wardrobes. Just thinking about the child who opens and closes the fridge, asking for a snack, but finding it empty... It breaks the heart.

N. and his wife immigrated to Israel about 20 years ago. N. has struggled to find his place in the country and works in odd jobs. His wife suffers from mental health issues, is frequently hospitalized, and receives a disability allowance of 3,500 NIS—which is the household’s only stable source of income. The family has one minor and three adult children, all considered at risk due to the mother's mental health and reports of the father's violence. The children are receiving intensive support through welfare services. The home is neglected, the furniture is old, and daily functioning is very limited. There is no doubt—the children are in urgent need of every possible form of assistance.

In a 65-square-meter apartment, they raised their four children — today, only one of them is still a minor. The family lives in severe overcrowding, with no privacy. Eighteen years ago, the father was injured in a work accident, and since then, his physical and mental health has deteriorated. The entire burden of supporting the family fell on the mother, who herself suffers from a disability. Despite her health condition, she makes every effort to work a few hours a day and manages the household almost entirely on her own — in a truly admirable way. She is a devoted mother who goes above and beyond to give her children a normal, loving upbringing. It takes a toll on her health, and she urgently needs any help possible!

L. is a single mother who tries valiantly to care for her 3 children. The family rents a 3 bedroom apartment, paying 3,200 NIS in rent a month. The mother has no car, and it’s blatantly apparent that mother’s financial distress adversely affects her ability to provide for even her kids' most basic needs. Nonetheless L. is making every effort possible to support them and single handedly provide for their needs to the best of her ability, while simultaneously paying back debts, but she is collapsing under the financial burden. L. isn’t receiving child support, and has a long road of litigation left to go until she will see the first of them. 3/3 עדכון: לא הצלחנו לקיים ב"ב חוזר למרות נסיונות תאום, שלי מכירה אישית, ח"ה, המשך סיוע

The family consists of a handicapped father + a mother and 4 young children. They live in a rented apartment. It’s obvious that this family lives in a state of poverty, which adversely affects the parent’s ability to provide for their kids' most basic needs. Over the years the family attempted to undergo various financial rehabilitation programs, but it’s apparent that they had great difficulty rising-up out of the severe financial distress they’re in, and that they aren’t ready to undergo intensive therapeutic intervention. The mother frequently visits the Dept. of Social Services, together with her little children, asking for food vouchers to help stock their empty fridge.

The Y. family consists of three members. The couple is dealing with health issues that prevent them from working—A. recently underwent surgery. Their home lacks basic necessities, such as mattresses and other essential items. They have only the most minimal food supplies. Out of pride, they hesitate to ask for help, saying, “We’ll eat bread with margarine rather than ask.” They survive on the father’s income support allowance, from which they must cover ongoing household expenses, loan repayments, and payments to the Ministry of Housing.

M. is raising her two young children on her own. She separated from her partner due to his drug use, as well as emotional and financial difficulties. The father has no contact with the children whatsoever. All the responsibility for raising the children, meeting their needs, and managing the household falls entirely on M.’s shoulders, without any support — not even from her extended family. The family lives in a modest, rented apartment lacking basic necessities, such as an extra bed for her son and a dining table. Some of the essential appliances in the home are either missing or not functioning properly. There are weeks when M. cannot afford to buy even basic groceries, which severely undermines the family’s sense of stability and security. Recently, M. has been accompanying her eldest son to numerous tests and evaluations due to a suspected autism diagnosis, adding even more strain to an already challenging situation.

The couple has two children. They immigrated to Israel from Ethiopia a few years ago. The father, S., was injured while working. Despite the injury, S. tried to return to work part-time, but his condition worsened—he now suffers from pain and has difficulty walking, which has left him unable to work at all. The family lives with extreme financial restraint, relying solely on the mother's minimal income. This is in addition to numerous expenses they face, including mortgage payments, loan repayments, and another loan from the mother’s relatives, which they repay only when they are able. All of this, along with regular household expenses necessary for basic living—such as food and utility bills—makes their already strained financial situation even more difficult.
