About
On October 7th in Kfar Aza, amidst the harrowing terrorist attack, Hadar and Itay Berdichevsky sought refuge for their 10-month-old twins in a shelter. In a tragic turn of events, the parents valiantly confronted the attackers but were tragically murdered. In a miraculous twist of fate, the twins were found alive, having survived 13 hours alone. This family, among others, motivates the creation of our fund.
We maintain close contact with the friends and families of the 40 orphans left behind. As part of their community, we are committed to realizing a hopeful future for these children.

Our guiding principle is comprehensive care: We believe in supporting our beneficiaries holistically. This includes medical expenses, educational support, and recreational and cultural activities. Our aim is to foster a nurturing environment for personal development and empowerment.
