Golda has overcome more hardship than most people could imagine. Born during World War II, she lost her father in the battle for Leningrad and spent her childhood fleeing war with her mother and sibling. Hunger, fear, and uncertainty became part of everyday life.
“My mother worried constantly about how she would feed us,” Golda remembered. “She lost everything, even the photographs of my father.”
Years later, Golda immigrated to Israel in search of a fresh start. Although building a new life was not easy, she found a place where she could finally belong. “Only in Israel did I truly feel accepted,” she said.
Today, at 84 years old, Golda lives alone after losing her husband. Living on a limited income has brought new challenges. When flooding damaged her apartment, it destroyed her washing machine, leaving her to wash her clothes by hand for years. Simple daily tasks became exhausting, and the repairs she needed were far beyond her means.
But caring friends like you made a difference.
Through CBN Israel, Golda received a new washing machine along with much-needed repairs to her apartment. What seemed like a simple gift restored comfort, dignity, and hope to her daily life.
“I’m so happy,” Golda shared. “Now everything is so much easier. Thank you for your kindness. It means so much to me.”
Although the years have brought many losses, Golda no longer feels forgotten. She knows there are people who care about her and are standing beside her during this season of life.
Your support of CBN Israel is bringing practical help and heartfelt encouragement to elderly widows, Holocaust survivors, and vulnerable seniors throughout Israel. Thank you for reminding people like Golda that they are loved, valued, and never alone.
Please stand with the people of Israel today and bring hope to those in need.
