Support Jemima

SPONSOR PROGRAM

Jemima provides professional, loving care to children and young adults with multiple disabilities every day. Because we cannot do this alone, we have set up a sponsoring program. Do you want to support one of our residents financially? In these blogs we tell you about the residents, what the sponsor program entails and how you can help us.

THESE RESIDENTS WITH DISABILITIES DESPERATELY NEED YOUR HELP

The 16-year-old Arabian Safouane suffers from dwarfism and cannot talk. When he was eighteen months old, we admitted him to the Jemima Christian House, because his family situation was dire. His father had left the family and 5 of his brothers and sisters had already died. He himself was in a bad way. He had a large developmental delay and was malnourished. Since we take care of him, he has grown into a sweet, enterprising boy who likes to play in the ball pit.

MAKE OUR RESIDENTS HAPPY? TAKE PART IN OUR SPONSOR PROGRAM

Housing, meals, hospital admissions, medicines, therapies: just a selection of the necessities of the residents of the Christian Jemima House. We are very happy with the support we receive to pay for this. Nevertheless, our financial resources are limited and we sometimes worry. After all, accommodating children with multiple disabilities and young adults is very expensive. They need intensive care all their lives.

"Some residents seem to be unable to do much in the beginning. Time and again it surprises us what loving care does to a resident."

"We have 17 children with intellectual and physical disabilities, they all have a tragic background."

"If you want to participate in the sponsoring program, we ask you to support a resident for at least € 20 a month."

SALMA'S LIFE EXPECTANCY WAS LOW, BUT THANKS TO THE LOVING CARE OF OUR EMPLOYEES, SHE IS NOW 17 YEARS OLD.

“When our residents receive a present from their sponsor, they are filled with joy. "They shout and laugh. It is always a wonderful moment to experience," says chairman of Jemima Kees Bel. Our foundation set up a sponsoring program for the residents several years ago and that has already led to many wonderful events.

JEMIMA HELPS CHRISTIANS IN BEIT JALA

Christians in Bethlehem are finding it increasingly difficult. They are less likely to find a job while they already don't have much money. Many families no longer have income and are leaving. House Jemima has given a number of Christians, especially in the Beit Jala area, a perspective for the future. They work as nurses, therapists and counselors for and within House Jemima.
