Urgent Relief For Israeli Families Along The Border

Dear friends,
I wanted to share a deeply personal message with you about a recent, heartbreaking event that unfolded along the border of my beloved home country, Israel. On Saturday, October 7th, 2023, a devastating incident sent shockwaves through the kibbutzim that have always held a special place in my heart. These communities, including Erez, Sderot, Kfar Aza, Nahal Oz, Be'eri, Re'im, Nirim, Magen, Sufa, Nir Yitzak, and Kerem Shalom, are now facing a crisis that demands our urgent attention and support.

My family actively helps to cook for those affected, to look after them, to organize medication and accordingly we have decided to start this fundraiser to get as much help as possible.

I picked out the following organizations:
-IsraAID https://www.israaid.org
because they partner with local communities around the world to provide urgent aid, assist in recovery, and reduce the risk of future disasters.
-Magen David Adom https://www.mdais.org/en
because Magen David Adom provides treatment to any individual who needs help – regardless of ethnicity, race, or political or religious affiliation.

I will keep looking for additional organizations that we want to support with the collected funds. If you have any recommendations or suggestions please reach out to me directly.

The families living in these kibbutzim are experiencing an unimaginable humanitarian crisis. They are struggling to access even the most basic necessities, such as food, clean water, and medical supplies. This is where we can make a significant difference. Your support will provide immediate relief to those who are enduring immense hardship.

Homes and livelihoods have been shattered, leaving families in desperate need of assistance to rebuild. Your generosity will contribute to the reconstruction efforts, helping these resilient families regain a sense of normalcy and hope for the future.

The emotional scars of this traumatic event run deep, affecting both children and adults in these communities. Your donations will also support vital mental health services and counseling, helping them cope with the psychological wounds they've suffered.

By supporting these Israeli families, you are sending a powerful message of solidarity and unity. Your generosity reinforces the resilience and determination of these communities, and together, we can make a difference in their lives during this challenging time.

I urge you to consider making a donation today, and please share this campaign with your friends, family, and colleagues. Together, as a global community, we can provide the urgent relief these Israeli families so desperately need. Your generosity will have a profound impact on their journey towards healing and recovery.

No contribution is too small, and every donation, big or small, will make a difference. Let's stand together and support these courageous families who deserve our help during this trying time.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

With gratitude and hope,

Petricia and Family
