Story

Israel has declared a state of war. 

Militant group Hamas launched surprise attacks Saturday morning. An unprecedented situation, Palestinian militants fired a deadly barrage of rockets and sent gunmen into Israel from Gaza. More than 900 innocent Israelis have been killed, 2,800 injured, and counting. The situation continues to unfold and remains critical as hostages have been reported.

The IDF launched Operation Swords of Iron in response. As a result, thousands of IDF soldiers and reservists have been mobilized to respond to these attacks including close friends of mine and family members.

Once again under attack, Israel's soldiers need our support now more than ever. Current needs that are being fundraised for include:

- Field Hospitals

- Intensive Care Ambulance Units

- Hygiene Kits

- Plasma Kits

Help share and also help me provide for the wellbeing Israel's soldiers who are on the frontlines to reinstate security.
