WINTER WARMTH CAMPAIGN

---

Winter has arrived.

The rain has come, and with it, the biting cold. Strong winds and frigid air easily penetrate the drafty windows in uninsulated Israeli apartments. Moisture makes its way through leaky ceilings and even through the walls. For poor families who lack basic cold weather essentials, there's nowhere to go for relief. And as the season progresses, it will only get worse.

It may sound extreme but the reality is, that when there's no money for even the barest of daily necessities, parents of these families will often choose between buying their children an item of warm clothing or food. Nights are freezing without heavy blankets, and the walk to school feels so much longer and colder without a coat. When it's really cold, some kids just don't go to school.

Winter is simply a time of anxiety and dread for the needy. So Yad Eliezer must step in.
Our Winter Warmth Campaign works to improve the lives of impoverished Israeli families across the country, by keeping them warm. The need is greater than ever so we've ordered 6,000 children's winter coats (at a cost of $18 each) 8,000 quilts ($12 each) and 600 heaters ($53 each) which will make a big difference. But we cannot do this without you.

Your help will light up a child's face as she/he puts on a new, warm winter coat. It will bring incredible relief to families as heaters are turned on and nights are made warm with thick, new blankets. These items seem simple. But they are life altering and bring unbelievable happiness and relief to those who so desperately need it.

Because of your generosity, last year we distributed 4,500 thick winter coats and 8,000 heavy blankets to families in need.
This year we hope to distribute even more!
