Life was difficult. But a home attendant? \u201cNever! I don\u2019t want a stranger in my home!\u201d But things got worse and \u2018never\u2019 became \u2018maybe\u2019. Ezer Mizion\u2019s Home Attendant Division was contacted and Tzivia entered Sara\u2019s home. One year later on Chanukah, Tzivia found balloons awaiting her as she entered. \u201cThese are for you,\u201d Sara smiled. \u201cFor you, my Chanukah miracle. Since you came, I felt I have a daughter. Today our friendship is a year old, and I, too, feel like I am a year old, because I am a new woman since you entered my world.\u201d Several days later, Sara fell and broke her arm.\u00a0 The ambulance came but Sara did not go alone. Tzivia accompanied her, spent hours of her free time in the ER with her. It was not long before Tzivia\u2019s husband arrived at the ER to bring them both food and drink.\u00a0 Still retaining her independent streak, Sara was appalled, \u201cI feel so bad that your husband had to go through so much trouble just because of me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf I am your daughter, he is your son-in-law. We\u2019re your family.&nbsp; Family members help each other. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sara was too choked up to reply but her eyes said it all as she gazed with wonderment at her family, the \u2018strangers\u2019 she had not wanted to allow into her home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A father is battling cancer. Their situation was heartbreaking: The mother was torn between hospital, where her husband needed her attention, and home where their five children, two of them with special needs, were left alone at home for hours, without proper meals, supervision or occupation. Ezer Mizion got to work\u2026 Our fantastic volunteers contacted the director of Ezer Mizion\u2019s services for children with special needs, who arranged for the girls to go to an afternoon club, complete with meals, help with schoolwork, and quality attention until five in the afternoon.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Two volunteers visited the parents in the ward, bringing cake and support, showering them with warm encouragement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ezer Mizion\u2019s Linked to Life took care of delivering hot meals cooked by Ezer Mizion volunteers&nbsp; to the house on a regular basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A home had been on the verge of collapse. Now it was shorn up with planks of love and compassion. The wife of the cancer patient couldn\u2019t stop thanking Ezer Mizion for all this magical support that descended upon her!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>From the Ezer Mizion Inbox:<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Our family is dealing with my cancer which is so stressful for everyone. Between not knowing if mommy will be home when they get home from school to having to eat strangers\u2019 food, life has become unpredictable for my kids.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can imagine our surprise when someone came to our door on Chanukah with two big bags for the kids (treats and presents!).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for bringing a smile to my children\u2019s faces and may you continue to do your holy work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the best,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sarah B.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24
