</div>
<div>Healing survivors. Honoring lives. Standing firm against darkness.
</div>
<div>My name is Hannie Ricardo.
</div>
<div>On October 7, 2023, my daughter Oriya was murdered at the music festival.
</div>
<div>In the months that followed, when breathing felt impossible, something unexpected returned:
</div>
<div>Music.
</div>
<div>It became the first thread of healing that helped me stay alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then came something equally profound.
</div>
<div>I discovered horses — and realized that the only place I can truly breathe is when I ride my horse, Sunshine.
</div>
<div>His quiet strength became my therapy, my grounding, my doorway back to life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From these two lifelines — music and horses — a mission was born.
</div>
<div>Today, I am building three projects of healing, remembrance, and resilience, rooted in Jewish strength and human compassion.
</div>
<div>Your support will make them possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⭐ 1. Kaddish for Oriya — Where This Journey Began
</div>
<div>A musical work written in my daughter’s memory that became a tribute to all victims of the music festival massacre.
</div>
<div>It has become a symbol of Jewish resilience — showing the world how we turn grief into creation, and darkness into light.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⭐ 2. Composing October 7 — Giving Every Family a Voice
</div>
<div>A project pairing families of victims with composers who will create original works inspired by each young life.
</div>
<div>Many of these victims were never known publicly.
</div>
<div>Their stories deserve to be told with dignity, beauty, and truth.
</div>
<div>This is the only initiative giving these families a public, artistic voice.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⭐ 3. Mashav HaRuach – A Place to Breathe
</div>
<div>A long-term healing ranch for survivors of the music festival attack.
</div>
<div>Built on:
</div>
<div>horses &amp; equine therapy
</div>
<div>nature &amp; open space
</div>
<div>music &amp; creativity
</div>
<div>community &amp; emotional support
</div>
<div>Jewish resilience and the refusal to be broken
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I know the power of this healing because I live it myself.
</div>
<div>The peace I find with Sunshine is the peace I want every survivor to feel: A place where fear loosens, breath returns, and life becomes possible again.
</div>
<div>As someone who carries her own October 7 trauma, I understand these survivors in a way most cannot.
</div>
<div>That’s why so many of them call me “Mama Nova.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⭐ Why Your Support Matters
</div>
<div>Your donation helps:
</div>
<div>✔️ bring Kaddish for Oriya to audiences worldwide
</div>
<div>✔️ support families whose children deserve to be remembered
</div>
<div>✔️ build the healing ranch and equine therapy program
</div>
<div>✔️ empower survivors with real emotional recovery
</div>
<div>✔️ stand against antisemitism through culture, strength, and hope
</div>
<div>✔️ show the world what the Jewish people create — even in the darkest times
</div>
<div>This work is not only Jewish.
</div>
<div>It is profoundly human.
</div>
<div>It is about choosing compassion over hate, healing over despair, and creation over destruction.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⭐ Help us build a place where survivors — and their stories — can breathe again.
</div>
<div>Every contribution, large or small, becomes part of their healing and part of our shared resilience.
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Hannie
