How Or Lacholeh Brings Relief
Every family’s journey through illness is different,
but one thing remains the same:
no one should face it alone – meet the families we’ve helped
and see how your support changed everything
At Or Lacholeh, we see firsthand the struggles families endure—mothers sleeping in hospital chairs, siblings longing for attention, and parents torn between work and their child’s bedside.
But with your help, we bring relief, comfort, and hope. Below, you’ll find real stories of families whose lives have been transformed by your generosity. Their battles are not over, but because of donors like you, they no longer have to fight alone.
Shira was the heart of her home, managing her household with dedication and ensuring her children’s well-being. Then everything changed.
A sudden illness led to devastating news—Shira had an aggressive, malignant tumor. As her health declined, the family’s finances crumbled. They struggled to afford basic needs like food and clothing.
We provided essential support—food, clothing, household help, and emotional care for the children. We invited the family to holiday parties and inspirational events, offering moments of joy during their darkest time.
Shira found comfort knowing her children were cared for as she continued fighting. While the journey remains challenging, the family now has hope for the future.
Yonatan was a joyful four-year-old who loved to sing, draw, and play. Then leukemia changed everything.
What seemed like a simple illness turned into a nightmare diagnosis. The family was devastated as Yonatan faced a long, uncertain battle he couldn’t understand.
We provided food, clothing, and emotional support. Yonatan received educational tutoring and special gifts that brought moments of joy during treatment. We invited the family to holiday parties and outings, creating community and hope.
Yonatan’s smile returned. While the journey ahead is still long, the family knows they’re not facing it alone.

Miriam was the anchor of her bustling household, raising seven children with love and determination. She had already fought this terrible disease once and won. Then the unthinkable happened—it returned.
The illness struck again, this time affecting Miriam’s vision and leaving her unable to care for her home and children. Seven young hearts suddenly found themselves without their mother’s guiding presence. The children desperately needed psychological support to cope with watching their mother suffer, but these treatments weren’t covered by healthcare, and there was no one to help them access care.
We provided hot meals, food & shopping vouchers to ensure the family never went hungry. Our volunteers helped maintain the household, taking on the daily tasks Miriam could no longer manage. We arranged psychological support for the children, giving them the emotional care they desperately needed during this traumatic time. And replaced furniture and appliances that were not functional.
While Miriam continues her brave fight, her children now have the support they need to process their fears and find stability. The family has food on the table and a clean, organized home. Most importantly, the children feel cared for and supported during their mother’s battle.
