September 18th, 2024 – Thanks to the generosity of Helping Hand Coalition sponsors, a brand new washing machine was purchased for an elderly lady in need in these challenging times.
Vera is a 70 year old lady from Petach Tikva with lots of health issues. Walking, standing or going down the 2 high floors of the old building she lives in are challenging tasks for her.
She is originally from Ukraine, made aliyah in 1994 from Kiev. She now lives alone in her old apartment, on very high second floor with no elevator. She has no family in Israel, her son lives in Poland, Warsaw.
Vera had her old washing machine for 15 years, which recently broke and she could not afford a new one. She said that when she was working, things were ok, and that she loved to help others. But today things are very trying and a real challenge to live in Israel with the tiny old age allowance she receives from the government and with her poor health on top of it.
She was so touched to see that there are still people who care for “an old lady like her”, as she phrased it, and sends her love and blessings to the sponsors of Helping Hand Coalition for Israel.
A huge thanks to the sponsors for caring and purchasing a brand new washing machine for Vera.
