In 2019, I had the privilege to explore Israel through a service-learning trip on agricultural science. Hungry to dive deeper into the vibrant culture, I visited again in 2021 to study the country's start-up scene. In 2023, I brought my family to Israel because I wanted them to experience the values, beauty, and welcoming people of the country I fell in love with. Today, Israel needs my help. 

It is dangerous to fall into political traps when the Israel-Palestine conflict has and continues to eradicate lives and leave irreversible damage to others. ELEM's emergency services have deployed multiple staff operations to create safe areas in the North and South of Israel, but the situation is dire. Hamas has murdered numerous volunteers, kidnapped countless civilians, and slaughtered families right in front of the eyes of our children. ELEM Israel has tripled their capacities, but we have lost the government's funding to other war needs. 

ELEM is counting on us in the U.S. to meet the youth's basic needs, including treatment, shelter, and food. Your vital donations will contribute directly to ELEM's efforts to save lives. Every dollar will leave a lasting impact.
