Why we opened this campaign
A typical repatriate story. Roman and Elvira arrived in Israel several years ago following their already grown children. They rented a modest apartment and almost immediately took up work in what is commonly referred to as "Olympic jobs" – positions where strong Hebrew skills aren’t required and only the minimum hourly wage is paid.
Unfortunately, the landlord decided to sell the apartment – and after the move, their already precarious life unraveled further: first, an expensive relocation that forced them to take out a loan. Then, the purchase of basic appliances – again, a loan. After that, their working hours were reduced, leaving them earning even less than the minimum wage. Two months ago, Elvira seriously injured her leg and was placed on an extended sick leave – which completely wiped out the family budget. Debts began to accumulate and multiply like a snowball. Although their children are helping Roman and Elvira as much as they can, it’s not enough. They've already repaid two checks for the apartment, and debts for utilities are mounting. A significant amount of money is spent on medications.
Roman and Elvira are seeking additional side jobs to escape the financial pit, but if the debt isn’t cleared soon, it could lead to their accounts being frozen and an even deeper financial decline.
Let’s help the family break free from the debt trap! Every shekel counts.
