Since October 7th, our nation has faced unimaginable challenges. In the spotlight of war, we often focus on those directly injured or serving, while the struggling families supporting them fade into the background. These families – the wives, husbands, and children who pick up the pieces at home – need our help just as urgently, yet they’re too easily forgotten.
Through your heartfelt donations, we’ve been able to extend a helping hand to these remarkable families through Divote. See the direct impact your donations are making – not in abstract terms, but through the lives of real people you’ve helped when they needed it most.
Your Donations at Work
Supporting Ariella’s Family
You helped Ariella, whose family is facing extraordinary challenges. Her husband, who already struggled with PTSD from a previous conflict, was called up as a reservist (miluimnik) and deployed to Gaza. After months of service, he returned home but is now hospitalized with severe PTSD. Laurene is courageously managing their household and caring for their children alone during this difficult time. Your support offers crucial assistance as she navigates these overwhelming circumstances.
Helping Leah and Her Children
Your support also went to helping Leah, a recognized terror victim who has suffered from PTSD since being attacked by a group of Arabs years ago. Since the beginning of the current war, her condition has significantly worsened. Her situation is particularly challenging as her husband has been serving in the IDF as a reservist since October 7th, leaving her to care for their six children in Hebron while dealing with her intensified trauma. Ruth is receiving professional mental health support, and your donation provides essential financial relief during this emotionally difficult period.
The Impact of Your Generosity
These funds offer more than just financial assistance—they provide hope and a sense that these families are not alone in their struggles. Your contributions help cover daily expenses, childcare needs, and other essential costs that accumulate when a family member is unable to work or is absent due to military service.
A Heartfelt Thank You
We cannot express enough gratitude for your generosity. In these challenging times, your support makes a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by the conflict in Israel. The families you’ve helped join us in extending their profound appreciation for your kindness and compassion.
