Kupat Ha’ir goes to great lengths to come up with all sorts of creative ways to assist needy families. Beyond the significant monetary assistance such a family receives each month, making it possible for its members to live respectably and be spared the pain and humiliation of desperate poverty, Kupat Ha’ir strives to sweeten their lives and help them gather the strength they need to cope with their situation.

It is no secret that a happy family that experiences small moments of nachas finds within itself greater resources to cope with the daily grind of life. It is no wonder that children who experience positive, happy moments succeed in “holding on” even when the situation at home is overwhelmingly difficult.

This is precisely what Kupat Ha’ir aims to do. Certain channels within Kupat Ha’ir revolve around gladdening hospital patients – those that can and should be gladdened.We do visits to old age homes, because it is possible – and crucial – to boost the elderly residents’ morale and thus lengthen their lives, literally. It is impossible to overstate the importance of the emotional support Kupat Ha’ir introduces to families that have lost a loved one, for
this support is sometimes the difference between shattered children who grow up to be listless, ambitionless adults – and children who may be orphans, but who lead functional, healthy lives and establish beautiful families when they mature.
