Below are a few examples of the people we would typically try to help.

* Families without electricity in the freezing cold that need heating, cooking, lighting etc. We help them pay their first electric bill to get them back up and running.

* Families with many kids but not enough food to feed them because the parents trying to find work, but there's very scarse work in Safed.

* Brides who need money for wedding expenses, but the couple's family aren't able to help.

* Older people, who live by themself, and need teeth. Their health often deteriorates due to difficulty in eating properly without proper teeth.

* Families who live in overcrowded conditions and want to start in a new place, but can't move because they don't have the money for a removal van.

* There is also a family, whose has made it their mission to give a home to abandoned or neglected children. Right now they have 3 (in addition to their own 5) and we are trying to get other families to do the same.

The social services help, but not enough. These people need physical care as well as emotional, and are usually going hungry. There are several times that the social services don't pay on time what they are supposed to (to cover expenses) and so we try to find that money in order to help those in true need. Of-course, we would be able to do much more if we had more money.
