Your generosity does more than fund programs – it transforms lives. Today, we want to share two powerful stories that showcase how your support creates real, lasting change for mothers in crisis.
You Turned Crisis into Hope
“I was at a breaking point,” one mother, Leah*, tells us. “I was so scared about how I would make ends meet with a baby to raise. I felt that life had dealt me a cruel hand and I did not want to bring a child into this cruel world.”
Because of your donations, Leag was able to receive the support she desperately needed from EFRAT. Your generosity made possible each step of her journey from crisis to confidence. The result? “I slowly regained a feeling that life had meaning. I realized that in reality, this pregnancy was a gift.”
Thanks to your support, Leah never had to walk this path alone. “Throughout the pregnancy a volunteer accompanied me. She listened and cared and helped me at every opportunity.” Today, she celebrates the future you helped create: “I am a proud mother of a 3-month-old princess.”
She has you to thank for being able to for being able to embrace her motherhood.
You Provided a Safety Net When Dreams Met Reality
Your impact extends to another mother, Jane*, who faced what should have been her dream pregnancy amid devastating circumstances. “During my first pregnancy, the one I wished for most of my life, my partner and I were at a low point,” she shares. “I was ‘in between jobs’ after losing a job and a position I loved. My partner, self-employed, also experienced a lack of success and fulfillment in his work. We both shut-down, with no financial backbone and no significant savings.”
“The relationship was badly damaged by this, instead of celebrating the news of the pregnancy like I imagined we would, we were mostly scared. When I was pregnant, I found a job that did not match my skills, just for the sake of making a living. Immediately after I contacted the employer about the pregnancy, in the fifth month, he chose to fire me.”
It was then that Janr felt really helpless. This time I was much more scared, I do not understand how and what I would have to give to my baby.
When she most needed support, your donations made it possible. Instead of facing crisis alone, she found help from EFRAT: “I received a very pleasant response, I spoke with courteous and professional women. After a respectful and fast process, I received a message about the eligibility for assistance, which allowed us to breathe, and know it will be okay.”
The impact of your generosity continues to resonate: “When my eldest baby was born, we received a pampering package and amazing support. We are happy with the connection to the community and thank you for the help and assistance!”
The Power of Your Giving
Every day, your donations transform moments of crisis into celebrations of new life. When mothers come to us feeling overwhelmed and alone, your generosity ensures we can offer the professional support, essential resources, and caring volunteers they need. You create a community of hope where none existed before.
Each donation contributes to stories like these. When a mother says, “I will never be able to thank this incredible organization. It was them who really made it possible for me to be a mother,” she’s really thanking you – our generous donors who make each success story possible.
Thank you for giving hope, support, and the chance for a better future to mothers in need. Your generosity doesn’t just change lives – it creates them.
