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