BUILD THEM BACK: Shiri and Noga need our support

On October 7th, 2023, an unspeakable terror attack shook the core of Israel and good people worldwide, leading to Shiri (53) and Noga (18) being held hostage for 49 harrowing days. During this time, they faced horrors that are beyond words. Their mother was killed on that Saturday, and their father remains a hostage. The tragedy decimated their home, took away beloved members of their close-knit family and community through murder or kidnapping, with many still in captivity.

Finally freed on November 25th, 2023, Shiri and Noga now face the long, challenging journey of healing from the deep-seated trauma that will, unfortunately, be a part of their lives forever.

About Shiri and Noga

Shiri was taken first that day. Meanwhile, Noga hid under a bed. Later, their home was torched, forcing Noga to leave her hiding spot, at which point she was captured. Noga's father, Ilan (55), has been missing since he left the home to join efforts to protect the community.

This fund is a beacon of hope dedicated to supporting these brave souls in their quest for healing and rebuilding their shattered lives. Every dollar raised will provide a lifeline of mental and physical support — covering housing, nourishment, clothing, and other essential needs — in the days, months, and years to come as they strive to regain a semblance of normalcy.

All contributions are being managed by the reputable AID Coalition (EIN 93-1616002). Rest assured, every penny will reach the freed hostages (or their legal guardians if minors) or be applied for their benefit (no administrative fees are being retained by AID-Coalition), ensuring that the families receive the support they desperately need.

Let’s reassure them that they are not alone, and that we stand with them, not just through the harrowing time, but through their recovery ordeal as well. Plus, your kind gesture is tax deductible.
