Emergency Relief Fund – Swords of Iron
Friends,
As the war in Israel continues, we remain concerned for the safety of all Israelis and the well-being of our brave soldiers on the frontlines. Your support and concern are genuinely a source of comfort for all of Israel.
Since October 7, thanks to your support, we have been able to help over 1400 Israelis directly affected by the ongoing war in Israel.
We assisted evacuees in finding safe accommodation, provided laptops to children and university students to continue their studies, and supplied tablets to the elderly and special needs adults to stay connected with the outside world. Recently, we extended assistance to elderly and ill Kiryat Shmona residents who cannot adhere to mandatory evacuation orders.
We constantly communicate with our social services partners in the hard-hit communities in the North and the South of Israel. These dedicated professionals are on the ground, ensuring that we grasp the urgent needs of those directly impacted by the crisis.
Here are some projects we are currently involved in:
- We are providing mental health support to those who witnessed the traumatic events of October 7th and the weeks following. In collaboration with Social Services in Netanya, Ten Gav is funding a 12-month therapeutic program to 40 survivors of the Nova Festival, helping them heal from the traumas they experienced.
- We recently funded a day camp for kids, helping to bridge the vacation gap during the recent holiday period. This camp was specifically for children of reservists in Harish, a young city where half of the population is under 18. With over 600 fathers called up for service since the start of the war, this camp provided essential relief for the mothers and a fun escape for the children, many of whom have been without their fathers since October 7, 2023.
In times like these, your solidarity is a true source of hope. Your trust and support enable us to fulfill our joint mission and make a meaningful impact on the ground.
As always, Ten Gav is committed to providing you with as much information as possible through our regular communications. If you wish to learn more, you can subscribe to our newsletter or email us at admin@tengav.org.
