Hi my name is Ortal, I'm from Israel. Lives here with my family for the past six years, and my heart is breaking seeing what is happening to my people in my homeland, four friends, our family.

Yesterday, At 6:20am, Shabbat morning in Israel, a terrorist organization Hamas launched a war on Israel firing more than 3 thousands of rockets at Israel while simultaneously invading Israeli towns. Hamas are kidnapped elderly people, kidnapped innocent babies and kidnapped innocent civilians from their homes!

I can’t take out of my head a video of a mom and her two precious babies being kidnapped...

A state of war has been declared by Israel’s Defense Minister. In this state of emergency – unlike anything Israel has experienced.

Donations will be used to support medical, psycho-social and physical assistance for women and kids and will be used to support the families who lost everything they had yesterday. I will collect the money and will buy the things those people needs like clothes, strollers, diapers, essentials equipment as they have nothing for their kids, for themselves. The items will be taken to Israel by an elal flight from NY and will be collected in Israel by a woman who is taking care of those things in the Jerusalem area. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
