The Foundation's Aid Channels
The Foundation's aid activity in Israel is unique; there is no parallel, in the scope or the fields of assistance, to the aid the Foundation supplies for the entire survivor population.
The Foundation runs five main aid programs for qualified needy survivors:
1. Nursing Hours
The Foundation regularly funds nine hours of in-home nursing care weekly for 13,000 Holocaust survivors.The aid in this channel is given only to needy survivors who were defined as eligible for a 150%q 168% nursing benefit from the National Insurance Institute.The nine hours provided by the Foundation, in addition to the 15.5 hours of the National Insurance Institute, allow daily care of the survivors; this is vital for those who can no longer care for themselves and who do not have other social or physical support
2. Emergency alarm buttons
The Foundation funds emergency life buttons for 6,000 needy Holocaust survivors and their husbands/wives; this service includes subsidized doctor visits, ambulance transportation, and security patrols for survivors living alone or with a health problem. This useful service also helps to give a feeling of security.The many terror incidents of recent years remind some of the survivors of the horror of the Holocaust, causing an increased demand for this aid channel.
3. Individual grants
The Foundation grants aid in the form of partial reimbursement of vital products, such as:dental care, hearing aids, eyeglasses, drugs not covered by the healthcare package, walkers.Currently, because of budgetary distress only one grant is given to each survivor.
4. Short-term nursing hours
This aid channel is for Holocaust survivors who were hospitalized unexpectedly, for example after a stroke or a hip fracture, and after their discharge from hospital they return home but are unable to take care of themselves.The Foundation ensures that the survivor receives nursing hours upon his discharge from hospital.The caregiver helps and assists the survivor during the first weeks after the discharge.This assistance reduces the likelihood of further hospitalization and contributes to better recover.
5. Volunteer Activity
The Foundation runs several volunteer programs for visits to Holocaust survivors by young people and Israel Defense Force soldiers.These visits accomplish two goals:widening the social network of Holocaust survivors living alone and providing the youth with the precious educational values of Holocaust remembrance and helping others. The Foundation has provided assistance in this channel for one thousand survivors.
6. Aid to Holocaust Survivors of Hungarian origin (HGT Project)
Assistance will be given to needy Holocaust survivors from 'Greater Hungary' in funding Nursing hours and Individual grants |
