The rest of the funds donated will be wired to the American Friends of Magen David Adom.

In the United States, disaster relief, ambulance, and blood services are handled by an array of organizations.

In Israel, there’s one organization that does it all — Magen David Adom.

Although MDA’s role is mandated by the Israeli government, it’s not a government agency. As Israel’s official representative to the International Red Cross, Magen David Adom’s role precludes it from accepting governmental support for its general operations.

Because of this arrangement, MDA relies on support from donors, including those from the United States, to keep its dispatch systems, training, and equipment the best in the world.

When you support Magen David Adom, you are helping save lives, every day.
