Heal Israel, One Child at a Time
When Fighting Cancer Means Fighting Hunger in Israel
Eight-year-old Rut is fighting cancer for the second time
Her father had to quit his job to care for her, and the weight of medical bills is pushing them to the edge. Rut doesn’t know that her parents cry at night, not just from fear, but because they have no food to put on the table.
Across Israel, over 2,000 families like Rut’s are forced to choose between paying for life-saving treatments and putting food on the table.
Or Lacholeh opens the doors when all others close.

When Everything Falls Apart
One phone call. One diagnosis. One collapse.
That’s all it takes for a family’s world to change forever.
Suddenly, the blissfully boring details that once filled a home — arguments over homework, laughter around the dinner table, rushing out the door for school — vanish. Meal and bedtime routines are replaced by nights in hospital corridors. Paychecks stop while bills multiply. Quiet children listening to their parents whisper about what they can afford to skip this month.
Right now, a family is facing their worst fear.
But they don’t have to face it alone.
When Illness Takes Everything,
Hot Meals Give Back Hope
For parents, it’s knowing a meal is waiting when they come home drained. For children, it’s the comfort of seeing that home still feels like home, even in the middle of a crisis.
Hope, Healing, and Help, Everyday
When illness strikes, families face overwhelming emotional, financial, and practical challenges they never imagined.
Whether from serious illness, natural disasters, or the aftermath of war, Or Lacholeh ensures no family battling illness faces these hardships alone—providing compassionate support that eases burdens and restores hope.
When children and families need it most, your gift brings light to their most desperate moments.

The Most Powerful Medicine Can't Be Prescribed
Doctors can give chemotherapy, antibiotics, and pain relief, but they can’t prescribe hope. Yet research shows what we already know in our hearts: children and adults who feel hope, joy, and connection actually have higher survival rates – healing better and faster.
That’s why Or Lacholeh delivers more than medicine: meals shared together, birthdays celebrated in hospital rooms, healing getaways that let families breathe, and fulfilling dreams that have gone unmet. These simple gifts restore the strength no pill can give.
