Help on the Way COVID-19 Response

Elderly people are high risk and more people than ever are calling on our services. Many are feeling scared and abandoned. We’re doing everything we can but WE WERE NOT SET UP TO SUPPORT SUCH A LARGE POPULATION IN A CRISIS like this. -Help on the Way is now the entire focus of our energies as elderly people are afraid to leave their homes for basic needs such as FOOD and MEDICATION. -Due to our limited budget, it is staffed by only 1 person at a time receiving approximately 70 calls/hour (**compared to a pre-corona of 3/hour**) - more and more calls are going unanswered -In just the first week of lockdown in Israel, our volunteers delivered essential supplies to almost 400 homes, increasing as the week went on (with greater resources this number could have been higher) -Each week the situation gets more extreme and we receive more and more requests Thank you for your consideration!
