LHM's Compassion in Action: Saving Lives and Supporting Traumatized Children

Life Saving Bomb Shelters

Several southern Israeli cities recently came under intense attack as a barrage of rocket fire from Gaza continued for days. Elderly Jews and Holocaust survivors faced ongoing fears of knowing that emergency alert sirens could, and would, sound at a moment’s notice.

Fortunately, at one of our partner homes in Ashkelon, each floor had a bomb shelter for elderly Jewish women and men to take quick refuge. Marina is a 91-year-old Holocaust survivor who endured years of humiliating abuse at the hands of Nazi soldiers during World War II. As a widow without any children, Marina was alone and had nowhere else to turn until LHM helped provide shelter for her.

Now she expresses her deep appreciation for both the shelter and Christians like you who make her life better.

Thanks to you and other Larry Huch Ministries friends, we can continue providing safety and care for more elderly Jews across Israel.

Caring For Israels Youth

An unfortunate result of bombings includes thousands of Israeli boys and girls who are suffering from physical and mental trauma due to rocket and terror attacks.

However, it doesn’t have to be this way!

Thanks to you, LHM is partnering with Israel’s Victims of Terror program to provide both therapeutic and financial support to hundreds of traumatized kids in Israel—including these two young ladies.

One of our greatest outreaches is providing for elderly Jews and Holocaust survivors.

Close to 7,500 of these elderly Jewish people are living in one of our Amigour homes where together with our partner agency in Israel we provide for them to live independently, yet remain connected to many unique social services that Larry Huch Ministries and friends like you help fund.

These safe housing units are caring environments that empower elderly Jews, like Hannah. She was a young, eight-year-old when her parents were hauled away by the Nazis to a concentration camp. She had to forage for food just to survive. That feeling of helplessness has stayed with Hannah into her adult years. Fortunately, she was able to make aliyah to Israel and now lives in one of our homes.
