Israeli soldiers are regularly injured in the line of duty. As they are fighting for the continued security of the Jewish people, it is important that we remember them and take care of those in need.
My friend Hallie is participating in Dor Chadash’s 5k Run/Walk in New York, and is raising money for the cause. She sent out a request for donations, and the cause is important enough that I wanted to pass it on:
I am excited to be participating in Dor Chadash’s 3rd Annual 5K Run/Walk for Israel on September 19th! Dor Chadash is a non-profit organization that inspires a new generation of Israeli and American Jews to make meaningful connections to Israel and each other.
This year’s Run/Walk is raising money to benefit Dror for the Wounded Foundation – a non-profit that provides assistance to severely wounded Israeli soldiers in the greatest financial need, beyond what the Ministry of Defense can cover. This assistance includes medical and psychological treatment, education and training, and general financial aid.
In Israel, service is required in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), and young adults both men and women begin their duty right after high school at age 18. These young people quickly find themselves in a dangerous world. When injuries happen, they can be devastating and can impact the rest of their lives.
The Dror for the Wounded Foundation does amazing work. There are no words to describe how meaningful their support is to these wounded soldiers. This organization relies on generous donations from people like you and me. Every dollar makes a difference!
If you want to donate to Dror for the Wounded, please visit my friend’s link and give what you can. If you are in the New York area, you can register for the walk/run
