Course tuition for Shira

Total Cost - USD 1,903
Still Needed - USD 0
Funded - USD 1,903

One of the greatest acts of charity is to give someone the tools to earn a living.

That is all that Shira, 44, is asking for.

Shira and her husband, Natan, have five children, ages 13-22. Their oldest son is currently serving in the IDF.

Unfortunately, Natan suffers from PTSD and receives a monthly disability stipend; Shira works odd jobs in order to supplement the family’s income.

Now that her children are older, Shira would like to learn a trade and improve her family’s quality of life. She has received professional mentoring from Social Services and is ready to get started.

Shira would like to pursue a career in hairdressing and make-up application. In order to do so, however, she needs to take courses and become certified.

If we could help cover the cost of these courses, Shira would be a giant step closer to building a brighter future for her family.
