As part of our Hardship program, the Barzilai Foundation recently gave a helping hand to Janet, a Gibraltar resident in a hard situation. Janet struggles financially and has endured a long history of troubles. Looking to move beyond difficult circumstances and poor past choice she struggles getting by.
When her washing machine broke, Janet had no solution and no options. Through a Hardship Grant, the Barzilai Foundation supported her by providing a new machine. The Hardship Grant program is intended to help individuals who don’t have good options to get through difficult moments.
Barzilai Foundation partnered with the EV Foundation to support Gibraltar vulnerable families, and to provide professional development opportunities as well as assist low-income families experiencing hardships.
Barzilai Foundation partners with National Benevolent Charity to provide help to low-income families. Hardship grants provide just in time support for critical life moments including essential home needs, food insecurity, new employment costs.
A single mother who came home to find her refrigerator broken and food spoiled leverages hardship grant to get a new fridge and peace of mind.
For a couple and their young daughter outfitting their home with basic necessities was out of reach due to job loss from the pandemic. As they rebuilt their life and home our hardship grant helped provide support.
