Jamila<\/strong> lives in the center of the old city of Bethlehem. She has to perch the ladder that leads to a sunny courtyard to reach her home. Her house is poor, but dignified. She has six children, among them five daughters. They are all married<\/strong>, only her 30-year-old son still lives with her. To this day she has 14 grandchildren!<\/p>\n

She became a widow quite young<\/strong>, and she has to sustain herself alone<\/strong>. Her children can barely feed their own families. In Palestine there is no old-age pension, nor social welfare<\/strong>. Poor old people have to help themselves if their families cannot support them. In such cases the Franciscan intervention\u00a0looks like providence.<\/p>\n

The same thing goes public health care<\/strong> \u2013 it does not exist<\/strong>. Last year Jamila had cancer, and only thanks to the support of the Franciscan Social Services Office in Bethlehem, she could undergo a major operation<\/strong>. Right now, she has to start a chemotherapy in Nablus<\/strong>. But in order to afford this therapy she needs help<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Franciscan Office in Bethlehem needs donations to help Jamila and other elderly like her<\/strong>, who cannot afford healthcare.<\/p>\n

As Papa Francesco says, \u201cA world that doesn\u2019t take care of grandparents is a world that doesn\u2019t have future! Because such a world is losing its memory\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Help the poor elderly in Bethlehem<\/a><\/span>, memory of the Holy Place where Jesus was born. They have nothing but the mercy of the Franciscans and the support of the volunteers.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
