The intense heat of the Jerusalem summer has arrived.

For many families it is a time for relaxation and fun.

But for an impoverished family with two children and an infant, it is a time of shame.

Unable to pay their rent, they now live in a sukkah (temporary booth) on the street.

The mother of the family is a convert. The father became religious before they married and moved to Jerusalem.

The public is encouraged to donate here to help the family get back on their feet.
