Widows and Orphans
Tonight Thousands of Children in Israel Will Go To Sleep Missing Their Fathers
A bus explodes in the centre of Tel Aviv and she will never look into her husband’s eyes again. As missiles are fired over northern Israel, his father is called up to army reserve duty and never comes home. These stories are the stories of Israelis’ lives. In this country, widows and orphans happen every day.
For many of Israel's widows and orphans, the pain is compounded by the daily struggle it takes to simply keep a roof over their heads. Though the primary breadwinner is gone, bills still come and rent is still demanded. Lives that have been broken take time to put back together, but widows and orphans are not given that luxury.
That is, unless Yad Eliezer is in the picture.
Yad Eliezer's Solution
Aid and Support for Hundreds of Widows and Orphans Every Month
Thanks to the Jack Fogel Orphan Fund and the Keren Chanan and Miriam Vim Widow and Orphan Fund, Yad Eliezer ensures that the widows and orphans of Israel can live with dignity. The Big Brothers and Big Sisters Program brings a father or mother figure back into the lives of bereft children. Food Boxes, Surplus Produce, Shabbat Chicken, and other Yad Eliezer food programs ensure that Israel’s impoverished widows and orphans do not have to live in hunger. Yad Eliezer also supports some 180 widows and orphans with an average of $800 per home every month. Along with Yad Eliezer’s other social welfare programs, the Widow and Orphan Fund receives no Israeli advertisement or media attention in order to maintain utmost discretion for recipients.
Service distribution is determined based on criteria including income, expenses, and individual needs. That means that your charity for Israel’s widows and orphans goes directly to those truly in need. Thousands more widows and orphans are waiting to be added to the financially limited Widow and Orphan Fund roster. But beyond ensuring that the widows and orphans of Israel do not succumb to despair, your donation gives these handicapped families the opportunity to regain a sense of normalcy. We lighten the load, perhaps enough to begin to heal broken hearts and put broken lives back together.
