Support the Hadar Family in recovering from the Oct. 7th Attacks |
The Hadar family Tal, her husband Roy, Yahav (7), Reef (4), and baby Libi (3 months), survived a horrendous Hamas attack in Kibbutz Kfar Aza, near the Gaza border on October 7th. In the wake of this horrifying event, they lost their home and their sanctuary, and all their possessions were burned to ashes. The emotional scars run deep, making them unable to work to support their family. Both are self-employed therapists who dedicated their lives to helping others' well-being and now desperately need assistance. You can directly and significantly impact their life and help them on their long journey to recovery.
