You Dont Always See the Struggle

One day, life feels stable. The next, everything changes. That is what happened to Noa...

Noa's father passed away suddenly from a heart attack - no warning, no time to prepare. Overnight, her mother was left alone with overwhelming debt and three young children depending on her.

Today, Noa (8), her brother (5), and their baby sister (2) are trying to keep life looking normal. From the outside, they smile. But behind closed doors, reality is different: choosing between medicine or food, meals made from only pasta or rice, and children quietly noticing they don’t have what their friends have.

On Purim, we are commanded to give matanot la’evyonim - gifts to the poor - because how can we celebrate while our neighbors are struggling?

Yad Ezra V'Shulamit is providing food vouchers and matanot la’evyonim to 400 widows and 1,800 children across Israel - families just like Noa’s - so they can shop with dignity and celebrate Purim without worry.

For Noa’s family, a food voucher means:

• A Purim seudah on the table
• Groceries in the kitchen
• A mother who can finally breathe, even for a moment

It’s not dramatic. It’s simply a voucher placed quietly into the hands of a widow — and the difference it makes is everything.

Give a Purim seudah to a widow and her children in Beit Shemesh.

This Purim, you can be that miracle. www.yadezra.net/purim26RBS
