Assisting Lone Soldiers
Our Mission Statement
Yad LeYatom is committed to supporting lone soldiers—brave individuals who have chosen to defend our country despite lacking immediate family support in Israel. These soldiers face unique challenges, including limited access to essential resources and emotional support. Our goal is to ensure that they receive the care and assistance they need to serve with confidence and dignity. Through this program, we aim to provide comprehensive support to lone soldiers, helping them navigate military life and integrate smoothly into civilian life post-service.
Imagine a lone soldier, recently arrived in Israel from abroad, living in a small apartment far from his base. He faces the daily stress of military duties, compounded by the isolation and lack of familial support.
Receiving Assistance: Upon connecting with Yad LeYatom, the soldier is provided with a furnished apartment closer to his base, equipped with all essential supplies. He receives meal vouchers, ensuring he has access to nutritious food even during his off-duty hours.
Emotional Relief: The soldier begins attending weekly counseling sessions, helping him manage the emotional toll of his service. He joins a peer support group, where he meets others who understand his struggles, forming bonds of friendship and mutual support.
Financial Stability: With a monthly stipend from Yad LeYatom, the soldier no longer worries about daily expenses. He can focus on his duties and personal well-being without the added stress of financial instability. In case of an emergency, he knows he has access to immediate financial aid.
Career and Education Prospects: As he approaches the end of his service, the soldier takes advantage of Yad LeYatom’s vocational training program. He learns valuable skills that will aid his transition to civilian life. With the help of educational grants, he enrolls in a local university, pursuing a degree that will open new career opportunities.
Community and Belonging: Through Yad LeYatom’s community events, the soldier participates in holiday celebrations and social gatherings, feeling a sense of belonging and appreciation. He is paired with a mentor who guides him through career decisions and offers support.
Future Outlook: The soldier, once isolated and overwhelmed, now feels supported and empowered. He knows that Yad LeYatom and the generous donors behind the organization have his back, providing the stability and resources he needs to thrive both during and after his service.
