Hi everyone! My name is Maya, and I am so excited to share that I have been accepted to attend the Alexander Muss High School in Israel (AMHSI)! During my time abroad, I will be studying centuries of Jewish history, connecting with the culture, and experiencing the land of Israel firsthand.

As part of preparing for this journey, I am participating in the Dream Israel initiative to raise money for a cause that is deeply important to me: Disabilities and Special Needs in Israel. I believe that inclusion is a fundamental Jewish value, and everyone deserves equal access and opportunity regardless of their physical or cognitive abilities.

The funds raised through my campaign directly support JNF-USA programs that build a more accessible Israel. This includes integrating young adults with special needs into the IDF through Special in Uniform, providing lifelong independent living support for adults with severe developmental disabilities, and so much more!

The best part about this initiative is how far every contribution goes toward my education. By meeting my fundraising goal of $5,000 for special needs programs in Israel, I earn a $7,500 grant toward my AMHSI tuition. That means your donation does double duty—making a direct, meaningful difference in the lives of Israelis with disabilities while helping fund my dream trip to study abroad.

Whether you are able to donate $18, $50, or share my page with friends and family, every bit of support helps me reach my goal. Thank you so much for your generosity, encouragement, and belief in me
