Stand with Israel’s Families in Their Darkest Hour
Saturday, July 5, 2025
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
Psalm 147:3
Dear Friends,
This summer in Israel is not like any other.
In one central Israeli city, more than 300 evacuees—mothers, fathers, young children, the elderly—are trying to rebuild their lives from the confines of a hotel room. Across the nation, 17,000 people have been forced from their homes due to ongoing conflict. Many of them fled with only the clothes they were wearing. In a matter of moments, homes, vehicles, and entire neighborhoods were reduced to rubble. Thousands of buildings have been destroyed. Thousands of lives were turned upside down.
Among the evacuees are families caring for infants, children, and elderly parents. In one temporary shelter alone, there are about 50 children between the ages of kindergarten and 12, and 10 infants. These children are living in unfamiliar surroundings, far from their schools, friends, and the safety of home. Parents are doing their best to keep them calm, but the weight of uncertainty is unbearable.
At Vision for Israel, we’re responding with compassion, speed, and determination. We’ve been called for such a time as this—to be a shelter for the broken and a light in the darkness. But the needs are overwhelming, and we urgently need your help.
We are working around the clock to provide:
- New clothing for displaced men, women, and children—including essential items like underwear, shoes, and summer wear
- Hygiene and toiletry kits to help restore dignity and health
- Diapers, wipes, and formula for babies and toddlers
- Comfortable bedding and mattresses for families sleeping in makeshift shelters
- Games, books, and toys to help bring joy and a sense of normalcy to children
- Magnetic gift cards for families to purchase necessities
Every item we distribute brings not only relief, but also a message: You are not forgotten. You are not alone.
We don’t know how long this situation will last. Even with the ceasefire for now, families are affected, and the crisis will not end when the headlines fade. They will carry the trauma, the loss, and the struggle to rebuild for months—possibly years—to come.
That’s why your support is so critical right now. When you give today, you are placing hope directly into the hands of someone in desperate need. You’re giving a displaced child a new set of clothes to replace what was lost. You’re providing a mother with clean diapers for her baby. You’re ensuring that a family has a warm place to sleep tonight.
We believe the heart of the Father breaks for these families—and that He is calling His people to respond. This is your opportunity to act on that calling and become an instrument of healing in the land of Israel.
Please give now to help Vision for Israel bring relief and restoration to families in crisis at visionforisrael.com/en/donate
Your generosity today can bring peace, warmth, and reassurance to those walking through the darkest valley.
With heartfelt thanks and blessings,
Barry & Batya
