Helping Hurt Families Program:
Our Mission Statement
Yad LeYatom is dedicated to supporting families who have been severely impacted by recent conflicts, including those who have lost loved ones or have family members held hostage. These families face overwhelming emotional, psychological, and financial challenges. Our Helping Hurt Families program aims to provide comprehensive support to help these families navigate their grief, find stability, and begin the process of healing. By offering targeted assistance, we strive to ease their burdens and bring hope during their darkest times.
Imagine a family in Southern Israel, where the father, an IDF soldier, was recently killed in action, and a brother is held hostage. The mother is left to care for their three young children on her own, facing immense emotional and financial strain.
Receiving Assistance: Upon connecting with Yad LeYatom, the family receives immediate financial aid to cover funeral expenses and essential living costs. The mother and children are connected with grief counselors who provide specialized support to help them process their trauma and grief. They also join a peer support group, where they find comfort in the shared experiences of others.
Emotional Relief: The emotional relief is significant. The family feels less isolated, knowing they have a supportive community and professional help to guide them through their grief. The children receive regular counseling sessions, helping them cope with their loss and anxiety about their missing brother.
Financial Stability: With Yad LeYatom’s financial assistance, the family can pay their rent, utilities, and daily expenses without the added stress of financial instability. They receive food vouchers and warm, catered meals, ensuring they have nutritious food to eat. The mother also receives legal support to address eviction notices and secure stable housing.
Community and Belonging: The family participates in community events and holiday gatherings organized by Yad LeYatom, helping them feel connected and valued. They are paired with a mentor who provides practical assistance and emotional support, helping them navigate their new reality.
Future Outlook: With the expanded Helping Hurt Families program, more families like this one will receive the support they need to heal and rebuild their lives. Generous donations ensure that these services are available to all who need them, providing a lifeline for families facing unimaginable loss and trauma.
