Hello,
My name is Batsheva Brand, and I am a mother of seven beautiful children in Eretz Yisroel. But we live in a 42-square-meter apartment that most wouldn’t call a home.
We pay low rent because the landlord refuses to repair anything. Even so, My husband and I struggle to make ends meet. Together, we barely cover rent and school tuition. But what hurts the most is watching my children live in a home that feels unsafe–
When it rains, water pours through the ceiling, flooding our floors. Leaks and cracks have left us battling mold and freezing drafts, and I worry constantly about my children’s health. We’ve divided the tiny space with plywood to make a bedroom for our children, but every day, I fear the walls will literally collapse.
I feel so ashamed to ask for help, but I have no choice. My children need a safe place they can call home. Please, Klal Yisroel, help us.
May Hashem bless you for your kindness.
Thank you,
Batsheva Brand
