"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty."
Psalm 91:1
Dear Friends,
This February, we continue our ongoing efforts to provide bomb shelters across Israel, safeguarding our communities against unforeseen dangers. And that work has never been more vital.
Since 2021, your donations have provided over 180 shelters, a testament to your unwavering support! However, the need is ever-growing. With the ongoing tensions in both the southern and northern regions, the need for shelters persists. Moreover, the cost of each shelter now stands at £10,646 ($13,500), not including essential transportation and installation expenses of £1,182 ($1,500) per shelter.
We started 2024 strong. In January alone, we installed an additional 26 shelters in northern and southern Israel. Despite delays due to national emergencies, mainly the heart-wrenching 07 October massacre, our commitment never wavered. Through persistence and collaboration, we secured shelters for communities in the Golan region, including Kela Alon, Chaspin, and Karmiel, amongst others. Imagine the relief of residents as they see these shelters being installed.
Barry and our team member Shai braved a stormy winter day, joining hands with the shelter factory and the Home Front Command, to ensure these installations. The pictures here capture the essence of this mission: unity, resilience, and the enduring spirit of protection.
This year, as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Vision for Israel, we invite you to deepen your impact by becoming a monthly donor. Your recurring support will provide a steady lifeline, ensuring that we can respond swiftly to protect those in need.
Join us in this pivotal effort. Donate today and please designate your donation to Medical & Disaster Relief. Your heroic support helps us shield more lives in Israel. Every contribution brings hope and safety to families living under the shadow of conflict.
As we stand together in this cause, let us remember the words from Psalm 91, trusting in the Almighty's unwavering shelter and protection.
"...for He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways."
Psalm 91:11
Shalom and blessings,
Barry & Batya
