About The Program

The Keren Almanos & Yesomim (Widows & Orphans Support fund) was established to provide widows in Israel with monthly stipends to help them support their children. The fund provides widows from all walks of life, (depending on her situation and her family’s need) with an average of $800 per home every month. Each widow that is assisted is checked out to verify exactly what her income, expenses and needs are. The money is transferred directly to her bank account, ensuring that there is literally no embarrassment involved in the receipt of the funds.

At this time, Yad Eliezer provides support to more than 800 widows and 5,000+ yesomim yeach month, which brings the annual budget for this fund alone to approximately $9 million including monthly stipends and urgent requests. Many more widows and orphans are waiting for your help so that they can be added to the Widow and Orphan Fund roster. Every dollar donated to the fund goes directly to help the needy. In addition, the fund is fully transparent, and donors are invited to come and see clearly where every dollar they donate goes.

How You Can Help

Below are six actual tragic cases that we desperately need to help.

1. Ziva from Jerusalem - 7 children - $850/mo.
Nissim Chizkiyahu was diagnosed with cancer in his tongue and passed away after one year of illness. His family went through a very difficult time while he was sick. Ziva was left a widow with six children to care for on her own, and although in the beginning they had people helping them financially, they are now on their own. Ziva has been looking for work but she is still unemployed.

2. Leah from Bnei Brak - 7 children - $570/mo.
Chaim had cancer for four years and suffered tremendously the last years of his life, including needing to have his leg amputated. Now, his widow, Leah, has a lot of debts and is in a very difficult financial situation. There are dental expenses needed for their family but they have no way to pay for them.

3. Rivka from Ashdod - 13 children - $430/mo.
Yosef died of cancer leaving behind a wife and 13 children. Many of her children are married, but she still has huge debts from their weddings and her teacher's salary isn't enough to make a dent in those bills. She lives simply and cuts corners but is in need of financial help nonetheless.

4. Edna from Elad - 1 child - $285/mo.
Her husband succumbed to cancer after one short year. She has one daughter in her 20s who lives with her at home. Neither of them have work and they have no help from anywhere.

5. Avivit from Elad - 5 children - $340/mo.
Avivit's husband was diagnosed with leukemia and succumbed to his illness a mere two weeks later. The mother was left alone to care for four children at home with one child married. Her children desperately need tutors. Although Avivit did not want to accept help, the situation has come to the point where she needed to ask for help.

6. Miriam from Jerusalem - 10 children - $430/mo.
Meir Zev suffered from cancer for two years before passing away, leaving his wife a widow with 3 of their 10 children still living at
home. Miriam was traumatized because a number of her neighbors had also lost family member from cancer as well. Miriam has many debts to pay off in addition to her family's daily expenses.
