A small run-down apartment, with peeling paint and crumbling walls housed the eleven members of the Katz family. Although at one time they had been financially stable, their lot took a turn for the worse and business was bad. Today, nine children filled the home, but there was no income there was no funds to pay the bills.

The electricity had already been turned off when Moshe, one of the younger children, walked over to the kitchen sink.  With no food in the house, he learned to fill up on water to quench his hunger.  He reached over to turn on the faucet and let out a moan - there is no water either. The municipality finally gave in to its threats and cut off the water.

Learning about this dire situation, an emergency fundraising campaign was underway and Karmey Chessed collected close to $1500 for the Katz family. The funds were used to pay the family’s utility bills, restoring electricity and water.  Karmey Chessed toured the home and discovered how many basic household appliances were missing.  The organization purchased a much needed washing machine, and stocked the fridge and pantry with food.
