American Friends of Yad Eliezer now partners with B'ezri
With Purim now in the rearview mirror, AFYE/B’ezri is moving full steam ahead with our critical Pesach campaigns. One of the most financially demanding times of the year, especially in a war economy and especially for struggling families, Pesach is a daunting holiday for Israeli parents battling soaring costs of living including food prices along with other holiday essentials.
As a Jerusalem charity that's been helping families for over four decades, we well understand the ins and outs of their struggles, focusing our mission to ensure that thousands of homes will have the means to celebrate despite the challenges they're facing. We’re bringing tangible relief to vulnerable households including:
-2800 needy families plus 700 grushot (divorced mothers)
-850 widows in our Keren Alamanos who will receive a supplemental holiday stipend for their families along with their April stipend
-3550 needy IDF soldiers including 700 Miluim families
For families who would otherwise face the discouraging prospect of sparse Seder and Yom Tov tables, lacking so many of the basics like matza and wine, plus anything "special" like meat or chicken, this support is nothing short of transformative. It’s what elevates Pesach, changing it from a burden to an actual holiday - filled with warmth, dignity, joy and the feeling that families are not alone. Our Pesach campaign makes this kind of impact for thousands:
"We wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generous donation to help us cover our Pesach needs. Thanks to you, our family will be able to celebrate this yom-tov more fully, and with a much lighter heart!
With all that our family is going through, we really look forward to the simcha of yom-tov to recharge our batteries, but the worry of how we are going to pay for it can really dim that simcha.
Thanks to your help, and just the knowledge that there are people like you who really care,
we hope this yom-tov to have a שמחה שלמה!
In this tremendous zechus, we wish you also to have a שמחה שלמה, and to enjoy just נחת דקדושה from your own families! And of course, הקרן קיימת לעולם הבא!"
Need is severe and we have our work cut out for us but we can do it, with generous support from our donors who make everything we do, possible. Help us ensure Pesach is a real holiday for families in need!
