(Courtesy of Yad Eliezer) There is nothing more painful than watching a baby suffer; however, mothers across Israel have no choice but to confront this situation every single day. The shortage of baby formula is an issue that has been plaguing Israel day in and day out, resulting in a significant number of women who can’t afford the formula they need to feed their children. This pressing issue has even led to cases of such desperation in which mothers have watered down their remaining baby formula just to make it last longer. Unfortunately, this watered-down formula lacks the proper nutrients essential for a baby’s healthy, physical and neurological growth. This kind of early malnutrition may, chas v’ shalom,cause lasting damage that can impact children for the rest of their lives.

That is why American Friends of Yad Eliezer/B’ezri have been tackling this issue head on through their Keren Eliyahu V’Esther Feed-A-Baby program. With their new, streamlined approach of distributing vouchers to mothers throughout Israel, American Friends of Yad Eliezer/B’ezri have been able to help save children on a monumental level. Their unique and innovative approach ensures that every tzedakah dollar is able to make the most possible impact by avoiding costs like delivery and storage, while still ensuring that enough baby formula is being properly distributed to the mothers who cannot afford it.

For just $40 a month, you can make a significant difference in a baby’s life and help them avoid serious medical issues later on, chas v’ shalom, all in a truly impactful way. B’ezri’s Keren Eliyahu V’Esther Feed-A-Baby program currently reaches mothers in cities all across Israel and, with your help, they can continue to provide this life-saving service.
