Why Support Holocaust Survivors in Israel?

The elderly in Israel are among the poorest in the Western world.  Of the 193,000 Holocaust survivors residing in Israel, 50,000 live beneath the poverty level.  Sixty percent of the needy are living on three thousand shekels  (862.78796 USD) a month according to:  http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4512415,00.html

There is a disparity in the allotment of funds to Holocaust survivors who arrived in Israel after 1953.  Approximately 18,500 victims are not recognized with those who made aliyah earlier.  Progress is being made to change this situation.  See:  http://www.jpost.com/National-News/50000-Holocaust-survivors-in-Israel-living-in-poverty-report-finds-350178 

Abundant Hope International and Yeshua's Fresh Bread are dedicated to supplementing the Israeli government's assistance to these needy who suffered so greatly in perhaps the most troubling period of human history.  We partner with these organizations to make a difference in a few precious lives.
