"This is what makes Israelis special": if the family passed away – and the residents of the city rallied to help

The late Marta Sara Levin, a resident of the city of Be'er Sheva, passed away at the age of 83. Her family members had no money for her condition, so they published a post on Facebook and within a few days raised a sum of about NIS 10,000. She left behind 3 daughters, 7 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.

According to her family, the late Marta was the first pizza woman in Be'er Sheva, somewhere in the seventies after she immigrated to Israel from Argentina before the Yom Kippur War. "Her modest Amidar apartment in neighborhood D was always open to people, she was a listening ear. The house was open to everyone, she helped people with food," said her daughter, Judith. "Later on, she moved to child care, even to Mayor Rubik Danilovich when he was a baby."

"National Insurance brought money to my father's situation when he passed away, we received the death suddenly and we had no money, we had no way to finance the gravestone. We put up a post on Facebook and within two days I raised all the money," Yehudit repeated. "I couldn't believe that the residents of Beer Sheva would mobilize so quickly and open their pockets to a woman they don't know. I always said that the residents of Beer Sheva don't care, they are always in times of need. I feel that the residents have given me a safety net. It is not obvious that people are willing to donate to a woman they They don't know Facebook."
