In Sderot, a city that has endured years of rocket fire from nearby Gaza, life for Isabella has been one long struggle for survival. A victim of domestic violence and terror attacks, Isabella has faced both personal tragedy and the constant threat of war.
Her hardships began long before the recent conflict. Years of abuse left her physically and emotionally scarred, and by age 50 she had lost all her teeth. Health problems, financial distress, and the loss of her brother—her only source of steady help—deepened her sense of isolation. And on October 7, as terrorists tried to break into her home, she was injured while fleeing to safety, badly hurting both knees.
With little money and very little food at home, she felt trapped, afraid to leave the house except for physical therapy. Where could she turn for help?
Thanks to caring friends like you, she found it through CBN Israel. The generous support of donors made it possible for Isabella to receive dentures that will allow her to eat solid food again and restore her confidence. A CBN Israel staff member even accompanied her to appointments, helping her regain the courage to go outside. She is also receiving regular deliveries of food and groceries, ensuring that her refrigerator is never empty.
“I can finally laugh again,” Isabella says with gratitude.
At a time when many people in Israel are still living in the long shadow of terror and war, it means so much to know friends like you are standing with them.
Through CBN Israel, you can be there for victims of violence with food, medical care, trauma counseling, and hope. And you can bring life-changing relief to Holocaust survivors, refugees, new immigrants, single moms, and others in desperate need.
