The Yemin Orde is a youth village on Mount Carmel in Israel. It was recently damaged by wildfire. Most of the children’s living quarters were destroyed . The age of the children there range from 6 to 18, and there about 500 students living there. Luckily none of them were physically hurt.
As a quilter, I would like to sponsor the postage to mail twin sized quilts to the Yemin Orde from the South Shore Stitchers Quilt Guild in southern New Jersey, and the Palm Beach Quilt Guild in West Palm Beach, Florida. The quilts should be approximately a standard twin bed quilt of 65” x 88”. Their rebuilt living quarters will not be ready for a year and a half, so I would like to put the deadline on quilts to be 14 months from now. Then, perhaps when they have the grand reopening, we can add to the excitement with these beautiful quilts.
Is there anyone out there who would like to help?
Please contact me if you would like to help, so that I can arrange for the shipping of the quilts.
Please check-out their website for more information: www.yeminorde.org .
The photo over to the right, of myself, my daughter Jessica, Chaim Peri, and my husband Michael, was taken in front of an administration building in 2007. On their website you can see it after the damage.
