Please Help Them Survive This Winter!

His company became involved in one battle so fierce that out of 101 soldiers, only Geovany and one other survived. Today, this brave former soldier and widower faces a battle of his own in Riga, Latvia. Geovany is fighting failing health and war injuries that have left him unable to care for himself. However, Geovany’s greatest concern this winter is the same one faced by thousands of other elderly Jews in this region – the danger of living in bitter cold in poorly heated, or even unheated, dilapidated shacks. Your gift of: $25 will deliver a warm blanket to a Holocaust survivor $75 will provide heating assistance to an older widow or couple $150 will ensure food, heat this winter, and help purchasing medications And for those we support in Ukraine, the situation continues to grow darker, as gas lines have been broken due to unrest in the region. This is why The Fellowship is addressing this huge need through our lifesaving Operation Winter Warmth campaign for thousands of Jewish elderly in the former Soviet Union and also in Israel. This outreach of compassion is providing winter essentials such as heat, warm blankets, and food for these most vulnerable Jewish men and women in the twilight of their lives. The needs for this vital, annual ministry effort are significant, and that is why I am urgently asking for your help. Today, you can make a life-enabling difference in the lives of those who have already suffered so deeply. The Bible instructs us, “Do not say to your neighbour, ‘Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you’ – when you already have it with you” (Proverbs 3:28). We have today to help vulnerable, older Jews in the former Soviet Union and Israel. Please do all you can to join us as we ease their suffering this winter. With prayers for shalom, peace, Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein Founder and President PS   Your gift to Operation Winter Warmth will help provide food, medicine, heating fuel, and other essential care items. For the sake of the Jewish people who need you, please send your much-needed gift now.
