A short practical guide

Start with a knock and a short conversation. Ask what would genuinely help, instead of assuming.
Offer something regular and specific: shopping on Thursday, a weekly phone call, a lift to the clinic.
Agree on how you will know they are fine, for example a daily message, and who to call if they do not answer.
Respect their independence. Help with what they ask for, keep their keys and documents safe, and never handle their money without a trusted family member knowing.
If you cannot help yourself, post on ECHO so another neighbour can take a task, or contact the local welfare services of your municipality.

ECHO does not dispatch anyone and gives no medical advice. In an emergency in Israel call 100 (police), 101 (ambulance) or 102 (fire).

Frequently asked questions

What is the most useful thing I can do?

Regular contact. A short weekly visit or call often matters more than a single big favour.

What if I am worried about someone's health?

Do not try to give medical advice. Contact their family or the local welfare services, and in an emergency call the emergency number.

What is ECHO?

ECHO is a neighbourhood help network. People post what they need, neighbours and local organisations respond, and every request appears on a map near the person who needs it.

Do these pages show personal details?

No. These pages only show aggregated, anonymous counts from real members. They never show names, phone numbers, exact locations or the text of any request.
