Meirav Heik, from Ramat Gan, fell sick at age 20. While serving in the Israeli Army she was diagnosed with a genetic illness, involving severe muscular degeneration, called HIBM. She gradually deteriorated and lost the basic faculties necessary for day to day functioning. All her limbs are presently paralyzed.
Merav has many expenses; she needs specific foods, medications and Dr.'s visits not fully covered by health insurance, physiotherapy and acupuncture as well as care taker fees. The small monetary assistance she receives from the State does not suffice to cover her many expenses.
Her total monthly expenses after aside from what she receives from the govermment are 30,000 NIS!
Merav can use your help!
You may send your donations to a special fund which has been opened for her by Yad Eliezer. All proceeds go straight to her account, and you will receive a tax deduction.
Evey dollar you donate will help her out tremendously.
Here are the many methods of payment:

Since 1989, we have been privileged to help thousands of poor families create happy holiday memories through distribution of food vouchers and aid for necessities.
While we celebrate the holidays, IDF soldiers defend us on the front lines. Some of them live in poverty and cannot afford proper holiday meals. Let’s not forget them. Together we can give them a taste of the holidays!
Impoverished families are often unable to buy groceries to feed their families. "Groceries" doesn't mean extras. Sometimes it means even the most basic items like bread and milk.
We are here to anticipate the needs of victims' families, providing them with a shoulder to lean on while they try to make their way through this unimaginable crisis.
The tradition of Kapparot involves waving a chicken, fish or sum of money over the heads of each person in the family which is later given to the poor.
