Help Them Heal Family By Family
Give back to the families of the injured
Thousands of heroes have returned from the war wounded in body and soul. From the massacre in the Gaza envelope, to the families of the wounded IDF soldiers and security forces who went into battle during Simchat Torah, October 7, 2023, or afterward, leaving families behind – just to fight for all of us!
When the father of a family is injured, the lives of everyone in the household change in an instant. In the blink of an eye, they are faced with a new and difficult reality. Alongside the pain and emotional upheaval, the family must cope with heavy expenses - far beyond what the state provides as part of its assistance to the wounded.
These expenses include adapting the home for a wheelchair, purchasing a specially equipped vehicle, adding a ground-floor room, installing a Shabbat elevator in their building, and more. In addition, there are daily costs that suddenly arise: help with cleaning, childcare, transportation assistance - all of which are not covered by the official aid packages.
In many cases, official recognition of the injury (especially in cases of mental injuries such as PTSD) takes time. Meanwhile, families find themselves drowning in debt, forced to borrow money, to dip into their savings - all while trying to continue functioning and maintain a basic daily routine.
This is where Lema’an Achai comes in.
Lema’an Achai provides dedicated grants to the families of the injured, tailored to the specific needs of each family. These grants amount to thirty thousand shekel per family - enabling them to get through this difficult period with dignity, without collapsing financially.
Because when one person is wounded - the whole family is wounded. And Lema’an Achai is here to make sure they are not left alone in their hardest moments.
"All of Israel is responsible for one another" כל ישראל ערבים זה לזה
It is our responsibility to care for them and their families!
This is a project Lema'an Achai has been working on with Avital Shindler. Avital is a strong woman, mother and wife. Her husband Amichai, a young dad of 6, was severely injured as Hamas terrorists blasted open the Shindler's saferoom door as he tried to hold it closed. As a result he lost both his arms.
