SUMMER RELIEF CAMPAIGN

This summer they need our help!
 

The phrase “summer vacation” conjures up images of the shining sun, ice cream, family trips, laughter and smiling faces…
There's a stark difference though, between those happy images and reality for thousands of impoverished families in Israel.

War trauma... single parenthood … unemployment … illness & medical expenses … increased (yet again) costs of living …
are just some of the numerous reasons they are barely scraping by.

The recent war with Iran and the financial demands of the coinciding holidays deepened an already challenging situation for many families. Lost income and increased household expenses created a snowball effect of growing debt, leaving families in an even more vulnerable position as they now face the added costs of summer.

For all types of struggling families, this summer is one of crisis.

 

Summer in poverty is a season of standstill, malnutrition and vulnerability. But as one of the biggest Jewish charities that help the poor, 
American Friends of Yad Eliezer/B’ezri works to combat this through our Summer Relief Campaign.

We will bring relief - for food, camp fees and other urgent needs over the long, expensive summer to:
•1800 Grushos (divorced mothers) who struggle alone, largely ignored and unsupported, to provide for their children
•1950 needy families whether dealing with a medical issue, financial setback, or other difficult circumstances
•714 Almanos, coping with loss and financial challenges while trying to raising their families
 

We are distributing over $1.86 million in aid to 4464 families,
to help them get through one of the hardest times of the year!

For a summer of stability, normalcy and dignity, they really need our support.
