“I will bring back the captives of My people Israel; they shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them; they shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them.” —Amos 9:14
We love our supporters and cannot thank you enough for your generous donations over this last year! We do not take it lightly that you have chosen My Olive Tree as a place in which you give your hard-earned funds. It is a high honor to know that many of you have researched various humanitarian outreaches, and have chosen us as a place to sow a seed. Wow! The words, thank you just do not express the tremendous amount of gratitude we have in our hearts! We only wish that we could take each one of you with us on location.
If you could see first-hand the smiles on the faces of the IDF soldiers while they plant your trees. If you could experience their joy as we share with them that the produce from these trees will go towards supporting their needs on the army base… Or the tears that are shed by Holocaust survivors when we arrive with much-needed medical equipment and other necessities.
We at My Olive Tree often express just how much we wish that each one of you could join us as we reap so many rewards of love and gratitude from the Israeli citizens who your gifts have reached. Please know that we cannot continue this work without you! Your gifts have truly made a way for us to make a difference in the lives of so many.
And while we sit here and contemplate ALL that has been accomplished, there is still more
work to be done. We have planted over 30,000 trees in the desert, but still many in Israel are in desperate need of jobs! We have provided homes for thousands of children and young adults, and yet more slip through the foster care system daily. We have delivered groceries for IDF soldier families who are living on a shoestring budget with many hungry mouths to feed, and yet still thousands more starve.
Friends we need YOU now more than ever! Your generosity does not go unnoticed. We are busily working to bridge the many gaps of humanitarian needs that the nation of Israel faces on a daily basis. More than anything, it is our hearts desire to empower those in need with the necessary jobs to meet the needs of their growing families.
There are many ways to support the work that we do within the nation of Israel and beyond. If you are not familiar with the work we are doing, we invite you to check out the My Olive Tree website to learn more. If you have planted a tree, please visit our Wall of Honor.
Thank you again for your incredible generosity! We hope that you will continue to support the work we are doing in the nation of Israel and beyond.
