August 11th, 2025 – Helping Hand Coalition team delivered encouragement, love and financial help to Luba from Haifa, a financially struggling elderly pensioner.

She was touched to the point of tears by the visit, care and for the support that she received in the form of grocery cards for grocery shopping.

Luba Minkov is a 77-year-old resident of Haifa, who lives on her own, paying high rent with her tiny government pension which barely covers it. After all expenses, she has to scrape corners to find money for buying food or paying basic expenses.

Thankfully she was just finally granted a tiny room in elderly hostel, that she will move into at the end of the month.

On top of it, Luba’s daughter was a cancer patient in a very poor condition. She was living right next to Haifa with her two granddaughters. The situation had become overwhelming for Luba, both emotionally and financially.

Luba explained that her daughter and son-in-law took a bank loan in her name to face the financial challenges that came with the cancer. And that Luba was paying for it.

Sadly, her daughter recently passed away.
