Every Child Deserves a Winter Coat

For many children, the winter chill is no match for their warm hearts and happy spirits. But young children are the most vulnerable to harsh cold weather without proper winter clothing.

Every child in Israel deserves protection from the cold, and to experience the joy of winter without worry. But the reality is heartbreaking. Many families don't have enough money to buy a coat for their young ones, and the lack of proper clothing puts these kids at risk of illness or even death.

That's why we, at Yad Ezra V'shulamit are so passionate about ensuring that every child in Israel has a winter coat.

Giving poor children warm coats can provide much-needed physical warmth during the cold winter, but there is so much more behind this kind gesture.

It affirms their place in the world and reminds them they are important and valued. When they receive a new and stylish coat, according to their choice, they feel like they belong, no matter their social or economic background. We are proud to give these children a sense of pride and hope and to show them that somebody cares.

This feeling of security and comfort can help these children face the cold winter months with optimism and strength. It reminds them that there is hope and that people are here to help.

This kind of gift gives the children immense confidence. They can be happy about who they are and feel worthy of the same respect and love as everyone else.

Sara, orphaned by her mother, has been in Children’s Center for several years, ever since her mother fought a terminal illness. Since the beginning of winter, we saw that she did not have the appropriate clothing such as boots, warm tights and of course a coat. Her father is financially unable to buy appropriate clothing for the winter. And since his wife passed away, he is in deep grief and unable to function. We bought her winter clothing, including a high-quality and fashionable coat. Sarah is very happy that she has a new, beautiful, and warm coat - and feels like everyone else.

How Can You Help with the "Winter Coat" Project?

Since we depend on donations, collecting enough funds is an ongoing process, which can be worrisome.

But there is hope, and it starts with you.

Donating to organizations that provide winter coats to Israeli children in need can make a huge difference. In addition to coats, boots, heaters, blankets, and sweaters are distributed. Every donation makes a difference. Not only can you ensure these children have the protection they need, but you can also give them a chance to experience the joys of winter.

A warm coat is a symbol of care and protection. It can be the difference between a child feeling safe and secure, or fear and vulnerability. Imagine the look on their faces when they put on a brand-new coat—the comfort, warmth, and sense of security. That feeling of being taken care of and loved is the greatest gift we can give a child. Our ultimate goal is to alleviate the suffering of these families by any means possible. Through our compassion and care, we are here to make a difference for those in need.

So, join us today to ensure that every child in Israel experiences the warmth of winter in comfort and care.
