Yura and Irina were living in Lugansk, Ukraine, when the Russian attacks began near their home in 2014. The fighting grew fierce, and the windows of their apartment were shattered several times as neighboring buildings were struck.
When the Russians invaded in force in 2022, they fled to Israel, settling near Nazareth, and made Aliyah to become citizens. Yura received needed eye surgery in Israel, along with monthly treatments to help maintain his vision. But soon, the couple faced other challenges.
Two years after they moved to Israel, they received government housing that had been poorly maintained, and needed some serious renovations. They are both 72 years old, and were having a hard time in their new country making ends meet—let alone having extra money for basic appliances and a bed. Where could they turn for help?
Because friends like you cared, Yura and Irina got the assistance they needed. Through CBN Israel, donors provided finances for a new bed, refrigerator, and stove. They also delivered food and groceries to them, while giving them guidance as they adjust to Israeli life and culture.
Irina exclaimed, “Thank you for your kindness… It means so much knowing that there are people who care about us! We feel protected here in Israel. Even though there is war, we feel at peace.”
Your gifts to CBN Israel can bring help and hope to many others facing challenges—by offering meals, housing, finances, and necessities. And your support can extend a lifeline to single moms, Holocaust survivors, refugees, and war victims throughout the Holy Land.
