SUMMER RELIEF CAMPAIGN
Help us bring enjoyment, through relief, back to summer.
The phrase “summer vacation” conjures up images of the shining sun, ice cream, family trips, laughter and smiling faces...
There's a stark difference though, between those happy images and reality for thousands of impoverished families in Israel.
Single parent homes, families dealing with unemployment, medical or therapy costs, displaced families and parents facing diverse war-related issues...so many households in stressful situations are just scraping to get by.
For them, summertime is no vacation.
- Parents can’t afford summer programs or childcare, preventing them from working. Without income, there are no groceries for a houseful of children or a paid electric bill to keep the air conditioning (or fans if the a/c is non existent) and other necessities running.
- Without structure & the safe framework of school, kids are at greater risk of turning to the streets. Needy children are also at risk of the "summer slide"- falling behind in reading and math skills, a widespread phenomenon prevalent in impoverished homes.
Summer in poverty is a season of standstill, malnutrition and vulnerability-making it a season of instability and crisis. As one of the biggest Jewish charities that help the poor, American Friends of Yad Eliezer|B'ezri works to combat this through our Summer Relief Campaign.
You can help, too.
Your donations to this program are crucial-they'll help keep children enrolled in programs and properly fed. They'll keep the electricity connected and homes functional during the long summer break, giving families that are in desperate need, a bit of a break, too.
thanks to this campaign!
Please help us continue to keep families safe and stable!
"Ashreichem, Yisrael! You've provided such happiness. This is truly a huge help for families who feel 'strangled' during summer break-a time of year that's even harder than Yom Tov..." - Gabbai Tzedaka
