At 101 years old, Giulia has witnessed a lifetime of upheaval. Born in Tripoli, Libya, she still carries the memories of being forced from her childhood home during a time of violent political unrest. In the 1970s, she immigrated to Israel determined to rebuild her life. Though she now lives with dementia, the echoes of those early trials remain clear in her heart.
Giulia made her home in Bat Yam, settling into a modest top-floor apartment near the sea. But during the recent missile attacks targeting central Israel, her quiet neighborhood was shaken once again. One explosion detonated just hundreds of yards from her building, shattering windows and damaging her kitchen. Without a reinforced safe room in her apartment and unable to quickly reach the shelter below, Giulia was left frightened and exposed.
In that critical moment, caring friends like you stepped in.
Through the support of generous donors, CBN Israel quickly arranged for Giulia to be evacuated to a safer location. She received nourishing meals, groceries, and essential repairs to restore her damaged home. During her temporary relocation, Giulia found unexpected comfort. “It was difficult to leave my home,” she said, “but I loved seeing the beach every day. I don’t usually have that joy.”
Thanks to compassionate supporters, Giulia was soon able to return home with restored safety and renewed peace of mind.
Reflecting on the help she received, she shared, “The destruction in the city reminds us of what our country is facing. I’m so thankful for your help, especially coming from Christians far away. It is truly a blessing, and we send our blessings back to you.”
Through CBN Israel, you can help bring comfort and protection to elderly widows, Holocaust survivors, terror victims, and displaced families. Together, we can stand with Israel’s most vulnerable and provide hope in uncertain times.
Please join us in standing with the people of Israel in their time of need!
