Dear Supporter of Tikva,

Our soul, hearts and minds are with Israel, praying for our soldiers to accomplish their missions safely and for the captives to be returned to their loved ones.

At the same time Tikva continues to take care of the families who are going through hard financial times here in Sydney.

On regular basis we have been supporting the families emotionally, but mainly alleviating their pain by paying their bills on weekly or monthly basis. 

In the last 6 months we have distributed:

• 403 vouchers to Coles for food,
• 540kg of chicken and meat,
• 200 Rosh Hashanah and Chanukah packages were delivered by our lovely team of volunteers,
• 81 rent or strata payments,
• 123 gas, electricity, water, telephone or car bills,
• 189 payments towards medical bills covering medicine, health insurance, mental health support (psychology and psychiatry), and lately support for cancer patients.

This year we have also continued the Back-to-School campaign - with parents of 157 children receiving 500 dollars per child to purchase uniforms shoes and books for the new school year. As well as a continued focus on providing financial support to young mothers and families with little kids.

I would like to personally thank you on behalf of all the families who have been recipients of your kindness.

Tikva has been able to accomplish these results due to your generosity, we are asking you to partner with us to continue to meet the needs of the present and future by supporting Tikva.
