American Friends of Yad Eliezer now partners with B'ezri
“I am the only one earning a salary, my husband isn’t working. We can’t heat the home, the rooms are extremely cold. My husband doesn’t have a coat that closes and he also doesn’t have proper shoes. The rain gets into them and he has an infection in his foot.”
…reads this request that came into our office just a couple of days ago. We learned that Malka, her husband and their six children live in Jerusalem and the winter is not treating them kindly.
Situated in the Mediterranean, it may seem like it should always be warm in Israel. But as anyone who has ever experienced an Israeli winter knows, the weather can be cruel. The cold penetrates the country’s poorly insulated apartments, the stone walls trapping it inside where it simply lingers, making the interiors frigid. (Often rain leaks in, too.) It’s unbearable - miserable inside without heat. And trying to function in a normal way is nearly impossible. But the F.’s, like countless families, can’t afford that luxury.
