Birthday Fundraiser for Israeli Children's Fund

Hi! I'm Ari, I live in the greater Miami Area and I'm turning 8 years old. I'm very fortunate to have a great life. I love playing baseball with my friends, hanging out with my baby brother, going on runs with my mom, and chilling out at the beach. I work hard in school to get good grades, do my chores, and recently I even started eating my vegetables. I have everything I need and more for me to be happy. That being said, I know that many kids just like me aren't as fortunate as I am.

For the past 3 years for my birthday I've done toy drives for children in Foster Care instead of gifts for me. I'm so lucky to be part of a community of friends and family who are very generous and we successfully collected hundreds of toys to donate! It has truly been the highlight of my birthday every year.

This year I'd like to do something different. The Terror Attacks in Israel on October 7th have left many children injured, orphaned and traumatized. These are kids just like me. They didn't do anything wrong and are now suffering just because of who they are and where they live. They will need support for a long time.

This year, for my birthday, instead of gifts I'd like to ask my friends and family to support my fundraiser for the Israeli Children's Fund. They will be helping the impacted Children both now and in the future. To read more about the charity and what they do, visit their website https://www.israelichildrensfund.org/ I think you'll agree with me that this is an organization and a cause worth supporting. All money raised will go directly to the charity.

Thank you everyone!
