Sarah's story

Dear Praying Friends,

When Sarah was just five years old, she lost everything.

In the middle of the night, a fire broke out, destroying her mother's home in Israel and taking the life of her beloved older sister.

Just like that, Sarah's life changed overnight.

Unfortunately, that was only the beginning. The pain of losing a child was too much for Sarah's mother to bear, and she became unable to provide for Sarah the way she used to.

In hopes of being raised in a supportive and stable environment, Sarah eventually moved in with her father and stepmother. Sarah's relationship with her stepmother quickly became abusive, forcing her to move again. This time, Sarah came back to the small town in southern Israel where she was to live with her grandparents.

It was then that Ilanit, the manager from one of our Abraham's Bread Feeding Centers, befriended Sarah and became like a mother to her. She would help her with homework and take her to appointments. llanit personally made sure that Sarah was cared for and looked after.

Thirteen years after the fire that flipped Sarah's life upside down, Sarah began to look for a place to do her year of volunteer service. After everything Abraham's Bread had given her, it was natural for her to choose Abraham's Bread as the place she would spend a year giving back to.

At Abraham's Bread, we don't just feed the hungry–we change lives. While our centers prepare and distribute thousands of hot meals a day, it is so much more than that.

Our staff works around the clock to provide and care for anyone in need. They play an active role in their communities and take a loving interest in the people they serve in a way that is often life-changing.

Will you join us in making a life-changing difference for a family in need?

Right now, we have an opportunity to continue to be God's love extended to Sarah and those like her in Israel, to provide life-sustaining food, staples, and care for those in need.

Your gift of $18, $36, $72, or any size will provide life-saving food and supplies, and express God's love to His chosen people.

Thank you for joining us in this special opportunity to write a different story for Sarah and those in need in Israel.

Shalom,

Robert Stearns
Executive Director
