Letter of Appreciation | Dimona

Holocaust Survivors living in Dimona suffered much harm and destruction during the last war with Iran a few months ago (some of their stories were posted earlier). And yet when Helping Hand Coalition team came with a visit, the elderly met us with smiles and warm greetings.

This donation of hygienic products is much appreciated, as they are pricey on the market. Here is a letter of appreciation from Elena who heads the survivors' organization in Dimona:

On behalf of the members of the Dimona Holocaust Survivors' Association, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the leadership, staff, and volunteers of the Helping Hand Coalition (HHC).
We are deeply thankful for your unwavering care, compassion, and dedication to the well-being of Holocaust survivors.
The medical supplies we have received from your organization are of tremendous importance. This much-needed assistance has improved the comfort, mobility, and quality of life of many elderly survivors in our community.
Your support is far more than practical aid—it is a powerful expression of love, respect, and solidarity. It reminds our survivors that they are remembered, valued, and never forgotten.
Your kindness brings hope, dignity, and encouragement to those who have endured unimaginable hardships throughout their lives. We sincerely thank you for your generosity and commitment, and we wish every member of the Helping Hand Coalition continued good health, happiness, strength, and every success in your noble humanitarian mission.

With deepest appreciation,
Elena K.
On behalf of the Members of the
Dimona Holocaust Survivors' Association

New Air Conditioner Brings Comfort to Vera

Helping Hand Coalition recently provided a new 1.25 HP air conditioner for Vera Z. (79), a widow from Lod, who is facing serious health challenges while continuing to volunteer in her community.
Her old air conditioner had completely failed and was beyond repair. Thanks to HHC, a new unit was purchased, professionally installed, and is now operating perfectly—just in time for Israel's summer heat.

This simple but essential gift will help Vera stay safe, comfortable, and healthy during the hottest months of the year.

Every act of kindness makes a difference.

New Clothes, New Smiles
Dozens of Holocaust survivors living in Jerusalem had a reason to smile as they received donations of new mattresses, clothing items, hygienic products and muesli. All the items were arranged for easy access by the elderly.

What an incredible week! 🙌

Over the course of six intensive days, our team successfully completed a massive humanitarian distribution involving 6 truckloads of aid.

This operation required an enormous logistical effort, including sorting, repackaging, organizing, loading, transporting, and distributing thousands of donated items.

One of our longest days lasted from 7:00 in the morning until 23:00 at night, and one HHC staff member walked an incredible 29,565 steps, approximately 24.2 km (15 miles), while helping make it all happen!

The donated goods included:
• New clothing in a wide variety of types and sizes
• Jam in different flavors
• Oatmeal
• Muesli
• Mattresses

The distributions reached communities in:
📍 Tel Aviv
📍 Ramle
📍 Rosh HaAyin
📍 Jerusalem
📍 Bethlehem
📍 Northern Israeli villages

Together, we were able to support:
• Holocaust survivors
• Families living below the poverty line
• New immigrants from South America and Asia
• Youth
• Christian communities
• And many other individuals and families in need

Every one of these goods, and every container they came in, was generously donated by GAiN Germany.

A huge thank you to our amazing partners at GAiN Germany for your faithful generosity and commitment to helping those in need. Your support is making a real difference in the lives of thousands of people across Israel.

Together, we are bringing hope, dignity, and practical help where it is needed most. ❤️🇮🇱
