In the heart of Petach Tikva, where memories of the past meet the challenges of the present, your generosity is transforming lives. Thanks to your ongoing support, Tenufa Bakehila has been able to provide essential home repairs for Holocaust survivors, ensuring they can live out their golden years in safety and dignity.
This November, the Tenufa Bakehila team worked tirelessly to improve the living conditions of seven Holocaust survivors in Petach Tikva. Each repair, though seemingly simple, has made a profound impact on these survivors’ daily lives. From fixing hazardous electrical systems to eliminating dangerous mold, every improvement helps restore not just homes, but dignity.
Take Sara*, for instance. Her walls were peeling and steps were becoming a safety hazard. Our team not only repaired and painted the walls but also fixed the steps, ensuring she can move safely in her own home. For Leora, a disabled Holocaust survivor, simple tasks like using faucets or opening doors had become daily struggles. Today, thanks to your support, these basic necessities work properly again.
This work you support goes beyond fixing what’s broken. When we helped replace Ben’s shower faucet and kitchen counter, we weren’t just making repairs – we were showing these survivors that they haven’t been forgotten, that their comfort matters, that they deserve to live in homes that are safe and dignified.
In every home we visit, from Jerusalem to Sderot, from Hadera to Kiryat Malachi, we see the same gratitude in their eyes. These survivors, who have endured unimaginable hardships, should never have to worry about basic home maintenance or live in unsafe conditions.
Looking Forward
While we’re proud of the work we’ve accomplished this month in helping these seven Holocaust survivors, we know there are many more who need our help. Each repair we help make, whether it’s installing window screens for Ruth or fixing electrical cables for Shifra, brings us one step closer to our goal of eliminating substandard housing conditions in Israel.
Your continued support makes this vital work possible. Every donation helps us restore another home, lift another spirit, and ensure another Holocaust survivor can live with the dignity they deserve. Together, we’re not just fixing homes – we’re rebuilding lives and preserving the dignity of those who have already endured so much.
Thank you for being part of this crucial mission. Your generosity is making a real, tangible difference in the lives of Holocaust survivors across Israel.
