Shimon is 97 years old, a Holocaust survivor, from Ashkelon.
The disability:
Shimon โ a Holocaust survivor, suffers from pain in his limbs, has difficulty walking and difficulty dressing up.
Fanny โ 2 knee prostheses.
Their house was hit twice by rockets
All the window blinds, windows, and doors got broken, the stair lift collapsed and their house was destroyed. Their car was also completely damaged (total loss). The whole house was covered by broken glass. During the rocket attack on their house, Fanny was in terrible anxiety, waited near the window, and shouted for help. At 2:30 am a police car drove by, helped them and evacuated them to the Ashkelon welfare hotel, to a house without a Safe Room, that was inaccessible and a shelter that was far from the room within a walking distance time of 30 seconds, so her partner could not get to it in time. After a few days, they showed up on Rafi Reshef’s TV show who introduced their event and made sure to link them to Access Israel. Access Israel team made sure to arrange an accessible room for them at the Rothschild Hotel, and made sure they had several meals during each day.
A Quote by Fanny: “He was standing under the crossbar at the time of the siren and miraculously survived because there were 2 hits above him… ”
“We don’t have a Safe Room and therefore, we can’t return back home and the house is still uninhabitable….”
Dear Michal, ๐๐๐
It’s amazing to see that there are good people like you in our country, a woman who cares, sees the other and works to help where it is possible. It really gives us hope and a glimmer of sanity in the horrible reality we live in right now.
I have no words to thank you for your help, dedication, empathy, sensitivity and understanding of the difficult situation that me and my old man and many other good people found ourselves in. We send you our thanks and appreciation from the bottom of our hearts and souls ๐๐ป
Bless you from above and keep spreading light and goodness around you ๐๐ปโฅ๐น๐๐๐ฎ๐ฑโฅ๐น๐ฉต๐ฎ๐ฑ๐โฅ๐น๐ฉต๐ฎ๐ฑ
