As many of you know, Shannon and I traveled to Israel on a service mission in April. We visited many sites in the South of Israel that experienced heavy violence on October 7th, including towns, kibbutzim, hospitals, military bases, the Nova site, and we passed many bomb shelters along the way. We tried to identify a need where our family and friends could directly help, so we hope you will join us in making a contribution to beautifying a Bomb Shelter.

In order to rebuild lives and regular routines, it is essential that bomb shelters are built near schools and homes across large swaths of Israel’s North and South. Evacuated residents cannot return home until enough bomb shelters are built nearby, and even those who have been able to safely remain in their homes now feel the need for added security.

Jewish National Fund-USA is committed to ensuring that bomb shelters are built in the border communities along Gaza as well as in the North, as a first step to making it safe for residents to return to these areas.

Help us to beautify a cement bomb shelter by having it painted to ease PTSD in both children and adults. A local artist paints murals on shelters making them less threatening while easing stress and fear in times of emergency. The funds employ a local artist and provide maintenance and repairs to current shelters. This short time lapse video shows the start to finish process.

With your meaningful donation, we can beautify a bomb shelter in the Gaza Envelope to make them feel more kid-friendly and less distressing for all residents who pass by every day. Please help us reach this goal and create something beautiful!
