Project Rescue

Israel is the country for Jews. My daughter’s future is in this country. The time has come for us to return home. When I was at the consulate before the war, I was told that there were not enough documents to open a visa, that more evidence of my Jewish roots was needed. Therefore, despite my desire to go to Israel, I put this question off, because I did not want to look for the documents. But then the war began, and our Kharkiv was under fire, and my family was in danger. Praise the Almighty, we met you on our way, and you helped us find what was missing. This process, including trips to consular checks, took my family almost three years. Now we are going to the country of our dreams! We were given consultations in the process of collecting documents, and some of them were obtained for us. You paid for travel to consular checks and provided financial assistance. We were supported morally during this entire period of searching for documents, and this made life easier in military Kharkiv. Our hope did not fade. You also helped us get to Vinnitsa before the flight, and from there we went to Moldova and Israel. May the Almighty send you much joy, good health, happiness and His shalom! You have done so much good for my family, and I wish you good in your life! Thank you so much for your help!

I want to give a future to my son, Matvei. I dream of a better life for myself and for my family! For me, moving to Israel is a chance for a new life, a different future. I also take care of my mother and stepfather. They are both disabled, so I take care of them the best I can. When full-scale war came to our country, life became completely unbearable. Our city was surrounded and constantly under fire. I was afraid for my son, for my parents and for my life. As soon as the opportunity arose, I began to collect documents for a consular check for repatriation to Israel. My mother is Jewish, and I was sure that everything would be quick and easy. Unfortunately, it did not work out quickly and everything turned out to be quite difficult! And then I was advised to contact you for help. I greatly regretted that I did not know about you before! If I had found you earlier, I would have avoided such problems! You told me where to get the necessary documents, and provided all the necessary assistance. Without you, we would not have been able to leave at all! We were consulted on the documents, you provided financial assistance to take the necessary things for the consul from the registry office and helped us to translate my parent’s documents into Hebrew. I just don’t have enough words to express my gratitude and appreciation! I know for sure that without your moral and financial help, my son and I would not have been able to leave for Israel. As it turned out, in our case, desire is not enough. We needed finances, time and patience to pass these tests! You supported, helped and gave hope.

In 2022, when the war came, I, my wife, her mother and grandmother left for Western Ukraine. I was called up and taken to the front, and my wife, Nika, went to Poland with her mother and grandmother. My wife and family repatriated from Poland to Israel, and I was at the front. I was injured and was treated for a long time. It took a lot of time to pass a medical examination in order to be commissioned out of the army. The greatest help was provided at the stage when my wife and her family tried to pass a consular check in Poland. There were not enough documents, and you helped to collect everything necessary. Some documents had to be taken from the archives, and you helped us get one from Russia! That was just an incredible miracle! Thanks to this, I was able to join the family in Israel! I am infinitely grateful that you exist! Thanks to you, now we, a family, three generations, can live in Israel! If you hadn't taken the necessary documents for us, we wouldn't have left! Thank you for the financial support! You are incredible! We will remember and pray for you!
