Planting a Seed of Hope
Café Aleh - Where We All Scream for Ice Cream!
It
may be freezing cold and snowy in New York and London, but here in Israel's
Negev it's sunny all year round. And sun = fun = ice cream, of course!
And so Café Aleh was born.
Winning Medals,
Winning Hearts
Maccabiah bronze medalist awards prizes to Aleh's
Champions
The
recent Maccabiah games in Israel celebrated the best of athleticism,
camaraderie and support, as Jews from around the world came to show
their good will. But one participant, in addition to winning a bronze
medal in tennis, also won her way into the hearts of several special
needs children at Aleh. Her gift of toys, stuffed animals, posters and
music players brighten their lives every single day.

Thank You!
On behalf of Avital, Rafi, Shira, Gabi, Lior and Eli -

Southern Exposure: The Journey of a Lifetime
All
of us need to get away once in a while and break up our monotonous routine.
Disabled people at Aleh are no different, but taking a wheelchair-bound
severely disabled child who needs to be fed through a feeding tube on
an overnight trip is no simple matter. It is, in fact, a major logistical
challenge. But Aleh's staff does it anyway - purely out of love.

Sweet Dreams - Now Every Night!
Every
child deserves a good night hug… Last year, volunteers from a local
seminary initiated a beautiful program of making bedtime a special time
for Aleh Jerusalem's children of all ages. This year the program continues
nightly, with volunteers from 5 different seminaries each devoting one
night to sing lullabies and say the traditional Shema Yisrael with each
Aleh child. And the program has been dedicated and renamed.

Breathing a Sigh of Relief - With Your Assistance!
For
the children of Aleh, the life-giving act of breathing is not taken
for granted. Your response to our
Gift-of-Life campaign
helped us purchase 2 specialized cough-assist machines for Aleh's Bnei
Brak facility. These devices are used daily, enabling Aleh's children
to clear their lungs and breathe easier.

Tu B’Shvat 5770
January 2010
|
Just one year ago... Aleh Negev-Nahalat Eran’s children were living and sleeping in shelters, going through the day under the terrifying rockets aimed at the Negev during Operation Cast Lead.
And deep in the financial crisis, we were desperately concerned how we would be able to continue to provide for our children’s specialized needs. Thanks to your caring, we look back at the past year and marvel at how much our children have grown and developed, despite the challenges. We’re delighted to share with you, our partners and devoted friends, highlights of the past year and new initiatives that are giving our children the quality of life every child deserves. At the same time, we need your continued support and kindness to help our children realize their potential.
As we mark the holiday of Tu B'Shvat - a season of growth, development and renewal - please help us plant a seed of hope for our precious buds, giving them the specialized tools they need to continue to grow and flourish. |
