The H. couple are parents to 10 children, including 4 minors. The family lives in a government-subsidized apartment provided by the Ministry of Housing. The mother runs a small business from home, and the father earns a very low wage. Their financial hardship prevents them from providing even the most basic needs for their children, such as proper winter clothing and new shoes. The food in the home is extremely minimal — for example, they can only afford to buy chicken wings for Shabbat. Additionally, the furniture in the home is old and falling apart. From time to time, the family receives support from various charitable organizations working with the welfare department. The family is heavily in debt — to the point that enforcement officers have come to their home to seize belongings.
