It was a Monday afternoon when a family in Jerusalem received news that no one ever wants to hear: Their apartment was on fire. They quickly arrived at the scene to find their home reduced to a black, charred mess. Every piece of furniture, clothing, and appliance was destroyed. The only room that was spared from the flames was occupied by a single mattress, where the family of ten now sleeps.

The windows are broken, and the air is filled with the smell of smoke. It is a horrible, unlivable situation, and the family has no money to go anywhere else. Despite the fact that this was a tragic accident, the Corcos family is now in desperate need of help.

The Chesed Fund has started a campaign to collect donations to help this family. Donations will be used to replace their belongings, appliances, and clothing, and help them to rent a new apartment. Every day that they go on in their current situation is extremely painful for everyone involved.
