Thank you for taking the time to learn more about my birthday fundraiser supporting those directly affected in the October 7th atrocities.
To give you background information, my organization, Jewish National Fund has been on the ground with communities in the south since 1901, has worked closely with these communities, has built most of the kibbutzim and intimately knows where the needs lie better than anyone else.
We support 10 southern Israel communities including those devasted in the attracks such as Sderot, Kissufim, Nahal Oz and others.
One of our communities, Kibbutz Reim was the site of the Nova Music Festival where 3,000 young people gathered to celebrate peace and music. So far, 260 attendees are among those massacred by Hamas gunmen and many were kidnapped from the festival and taken hostage.
Here are a list of what your gift will support within our Israel Resilience Campaign -
· Evacuating 10,000 residents from Gaza border communities to safer places
(the State covers the evacuation of everyone within 4 kilometers of the Gaza border but everyone within 7 kilometers must be evacuated – the entire area has become a closed military zone. We have evacuated 2,200 people to the Eilot region, 1,500 people to Ramat Hanegev, 1,500 people to Central Arava, and more every day).
· Providing evacuees with necessary supplies such as bedding, toiletries, clothing, etc.
· Providing firefighting and protective equipment for civil defense – the first responders to community emergencies - including radios, bulletproof vests, helmets, and tactical clothing.
· Providing high-quality psychological treatment for civilians, including children, who have experienced this catastrophe firsthand
· Providing respite activities for the children traumatized by terror
· Going from home to home in the cities of Sderot, Ofakim, and Arad to help the elderly, the infirmed, and the needy with food and medicine
· Promising to rebuild communities devastated by the attacks and keep the spirits and hopes of the people who live there, strong
· Caring for the children whose parents are on the Ovda Airforce Base in the Negev so the parents can continue their vital work protecting our homeland.
Thank you for your support of this campaign and please let me know if you have any questions about the campaign, JNF's work or anything else!
Much love,
Sam
