Jackets for Judi’s Unit!

Shalom, Chaverim (Hello, Friends!)

Judi, here. Thanks for taking a moment to hear my updates and proactively reach out. Since the horrific events of October 7th, the IDF has drafted hundreds of thousands of reserve duty soldiers, including myself and my team of 65 other officers and soldiers. Leaving our civilian lives behind, we threw on some uniforms, packed our bags and headed to our base down south.

My lead commander asked if I could help fundraise for two items for each member of our team, which will both provide for a practical need and boost morale for our families.

Item #1: Warm, IDF-approved jackets. As full-time civilians, we simply don’t have the additional army winter gear needed for the season.

Item #2: A small gift for each soldier’s family. Since our families most appreciate knowing that we are okay, we’d like to print personalized pictures from base on wooden blocks engraved with a short blessing. Our families have taken a hit without us around, so we’d like to thank them for their sacrifice as well.

Our goal is 25,500 Shekels, or about $6500 to cover both items for everyone. Do you think you can help us get there? Join us in our efforts and in our nation’s cry: B’Yachad N’Natzeach! Together we will win!

***NOTE: The nonprofit "Shalom Macon" will appear on your automatically generated PayPal receipt. This is a backend system detail that we've worked out- you can be absolutely confident that that every penny is going directly to my unit! Any funds raised above the goal amount will go towards other needs on base that arise in the next few months.

Thanks for your support! <3
