PESACH
FREEDOM FROM POVERTY?
Help a family in need with their Pesach needs
But poverty takes any semblance of celebration away. It also removes dignity, destroys any sense of normalcy, and fills homes with blame, frustration, and despair.
Recent surveys report that higher numbers of Israeli citizens are living in overdraft and forego paying for necessities on a daily basis that include dental treatments, doctor visits or medications. Ever-growing costs of food and other living expenses plus added economic challenges make these days leading up to Pesach incredibly difficult for needy families.
For so many struggling households including those impacted by the war, others battling unemployment, families dealing with illness, single mothers trying to cover their basics, and families coping with numerous additional challenges, shopping for Yom Tov's necessities
is an impossible task.
So instead of a celebration Pesach is reduced to a time of anguish, stress and deprivation.
Together, we will change that.
Your donation to our Pesach campaign will provide families in need with store credit for use at leading supermarket chains, helping them purchase their holiday necessities-wine, matza, chicken, produce and other essentials. Families in extreme poverty also receive supplemental financial aid.
Last year, thousands of struggling families, agunot, grushot, almanos plus many other desperately poor people were able to buy what they needed to make their holiday joyous, thanks to generous donors. This Pesach, with your critical help, we will do it again! We'll provide:
$1.25 million in aid for 2,800 struggling families plus 700 divorced mothers
$1.25 million for 850 Almanos in our keren-they will receive a holiday stipend in addition to their monthly stipend
$700,000 in help for 3,550 IDF soldiers (including 700 Miluim/reserve soldiers)
That's $3.2 million in critical Pesach support!
Together we'll give a hungry family the freedom to celebrate Pesach with a real feeling of Zman Cheiruseinu.
