Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve reached 25% of our goal to support traumatized and at-risk youth in Israel’s north. Every dollar raised directly supports ELEM’s 17 programs in the region, including in-school initiatives, after-school drop-in centers, and our Breathing Spaces program for evacuated teens. Your contributions are providing critical aid, including emergency food and shelter, trauma-informed care at all hours of the day and night, and safe spaces for youth of every background.
Your generosity allows us to keep our outreach vans on the road despite ongoing rocket fire, maintain the 24/7 HaLev (The Heart) Haifa shelter—which urgently needs funds to add a bomb shelter—and expand programming for both local and evacuated teens. With schools struggling to maintain normalcy, our after-school Hafuch centers and late-night Breathing Spaces are stepping up as the only reliable routine for many youth.
Maya,* whose family was evacuated to the a town outside of T'veria (Tiberias), pleaded with her parents to relocate closer to the city center - all so she could more easily access our Breathing Spaces there. Stories like hers highlight the deep impact of ELEM's work, which provide critical stability and support to youth in need.
Let’s keep the momentum going, and ensure these innovative support services remain available to every teen who needs them. Together, we can rise to meet this urgent need and strengthen Israel's future.
