Success Stories: A New Dawn for the Cohen Family

David and Rivka Cohen, once the epitome of stability, found their world turned upside down when their small business, the backbone of their livelihood, collapsed. Parents of a large family, from older teens to young children, this sudden shift left them grappling with uncertainty, as their once-secure life unraveled.

David, despite his best efforts, found it difficult to secure stable employment due to a lack of opportunities. The family was caught in a cycle of poverty that seemed unbreakable.

The financial strain seeped into every aspect of their lives, leaving the children's needs unmet and causing tension and worry. Under immense pressure, David's mental health began to deteriorate, leading him to alcohol as a refuge from his depression. Rivka, already stretched thin managing the household, felt powerless to help.

In their darkest hour, David and Rivka reached out to Lema'an Achai, seeking a lifeline. Our team swiftly crafted a comprehensive plan to help them rebuild sustainably.

The journey began with financial counseling, where David and Rivka learned to manage their limited income effectively. We arranged therapy for David which was pivotal in helping him regain his stability and strength, enabling him to be present for his family once more.

Recognizing the impact of their struggles, Lema'an Achai also provided therapy for the Cohen family's older teens, helping them heal from the emotional scars left by their time living in poverty and the dynamics in the household. We also provided a mentoring program for three of the children and subsidized tutoring to the kids who were struggling academically. Throughout the entire period, Lema'an Achai provided holiday support and essential vouchers for clothes and school supplies, empowering the Cohen family to rebuild with dignity.

To secure their future, Lema'an Achai supported Rivka in pursuing training for a flexible and reliable career. Soon, she was earning enough to contribute significantly, balancing work with caring for her children. David also completed training as a project manager in the construction industry, a role with promising earning potential and a clear career path.

Today, David and Rivka stand as a testament to transformation. They are financially stable, emotionally strong, and able to provide their children with everything they need. In a powerful full-circle moment, they have joined Lema'an Achai as donors, giving back to help others as they were once helped.
