Tachlit

The "Tachlit" Organization helps families in need, widows, orphans and underprivileged families. In view of the situation, in recent days our organization mobilized for the residents of the south and the soldiers of the IDF in several ways: 1. Distribution of 3,500 food baskets, including food, fruits and vegetables, to families in the southern region: Ashkelon, Sderot Ofakim and Netivot. This is in addition to the regular distribution of 1,400 food baskets per week in Jerusalem and the surrounding area. We also distribute pampering meals to IDF soldiers in the combat zones. 2. There are thousands of sick and wounded who are confined to their beds and wish to be visited, studied with, and given attention. Many of them are in need of psychological assistance, some of them are lonely and need close supervision inside the hospital. The association established a framework that provides an answer to those patients. As part of the project, we connect the staff we train (for a fee) with patients hospitalized in hospitals across the country. From our experience, this activity mentally helps the injured patients and their families and so far we have received amazing and exciting responses. 3. A system of transportation to hospitals in which children and adults with serious and terminal illnesses are transported to hospitals. We are currently in dire need of 3 items at this time. Time is of the essence. 1. A new Forklift, used to lift  large packages  received from the Wholesalers. (dry goods, fruit & vegetable produce.) Cost $7,000 2. A Forklift used to throw out the huge amount of waste, boxes and garbage generated from the freight and repackaging the produce for local use. Cost:$7000 3. Our aim is to lease a brand new truck for 5years. 5 year Cost: $71,500. Annual Cost $14,285.71 . Our 2008 Toyota Truck is repaired weekly.
