When Illness
Enters a Home, Everything Changes
Families struggle to afford food and warmth
Work stops. Income disappears. Ordinary life collapses.
Not just health.
A parent gets sick. A child needs care. And suddenly the family is living month to month—sometimes day to day.
Groceries become a calculation made in the aisle. Winter clothing becomes a decision postponed again. Dignity becomes something parents quietly protect
This is where Or Lacholeh steps in.
Help families stay warm and cared for this winter
Provide Clothing & Shopping Vouchers for Families Facing Illness
The Part No One Sees
Serious illness doesn’t end after the hospital visit. It follows families home.
When a loved one becomes sick, parents often lose the ability to work overnight. Savings disappear quickly. The basics—food, warm clothing & shoes for growing children, household essentials—slip out of reach.
Across Israel, families caring for a sick child or parent are making quiet, painful trade-offs:
Groceries
or rent
Heating
or clothing
Asking for help—
or going without
Most don’t tell anyone. They just try to manage. When illness strikes, hunger follows.
When Everything Falls Apart
Every day, a family’s world changes in an instant. Their child needs surgery.
Their parent collapses. Their spouse gets the diagnosis no family wants to hear.
Suddenly, medical bills pile up while paychecks stop.
Parents choose between medicine and meals.
Right now, a family is facing their worst fear.
But they don’t have to face it alone. Your gift becomes their lifeline.

Why This Kind of Help Matters
Illness takes control away. Or Lacholeh gives some of it back.
Doctors treat illness. Or Lacholeh delivers more than medicine — restoring the strength, stability, and dignity families need during the long journey of illness.
