The people of the Holy Land Are suffering!
Over twenty percent of Israel’s senior citizens live alone with no one to care for them. Many of these elderly individuals also live far below the poverty line.
Tens of thousands of Israelis are suffering from a lack of proper housing. Without the bare essentials to take care of yourself, breaking the cycle of poverty becomes nearly impossible.
Israel has no quota on Jewish immigrants, allowing all exiles to return to our homeland; many are struggling economically.
Young students from low-income homes often don’t have the proper resources to succeed in school, further propelling them into the cycle of poverty.
There are 179,600 Holocaust Survivors in Israel. Thirty-three percent of them are living below the poverty line, and forty-five percent have reported feeling alone. After all they have been through, our survivors deserve extra emotional and physical support.
Two in five Israeli children will go to sleep hungry because their parents cannot afford to buy food. Research has shown that a lack of basic nutrition, especially at a young age, can cause developmental issues and long-term health risks.
