Yael was widowed two months ago—a loss that has left her struggling to regain her footing. A devoted member of her congregation, Yael has long been known for her hard work and unwavering faith. For years, she cared tirelessly for her ailing husband, remaining by his side day and night as his health declined.
As an hourly employee at a private dental clinic, her work hours had already been limited due to her caregiving responsibilities. Since her husband’s passing, her ability to earn has been further impacted as she navigates the deep pain of mourning.
In the wake of this loss, Yael’s own health has deteriorated. Adding to her burden, her daughter recently underwent a complex surgical procedure. With mounting medical bills and growing stress, Yael is now planning to downsize into a more affordable apartment to reduce expenses. Despite her best efforts, debts for basic needs like rent have begun to accumulate.
HaTikva Project was able to come alongside her and offer support during this difficult time.
