Care For Hero’s

On Nov. 2, 2023, while Jonathan Benhamou was on a mission in Gaza, a rocket-propelled grenade exploded 30 feet from the vehicle he was driving. He jumped out the front window to save his life, but when he was rescued, he felt numbness and tingling in his legs.

He ended up in a hospital in Tel Aviv, where doctors removed shrapnel from his legs and had to amputate his left leg. Benhamou had five months of physical therapy and was discharged in March 2024.

After meeting a US Jewish surgeon who visited him and many others in Israel, he was invited to undergo special surgery at the Hudson Regional Hospital in Secaucus, New Jersey, to reattach the nerves in his amputated left leg and to transplant nerves to his right leg and foot.

“This surgery was done here by a specialist because in Israel they don’t have advanced medical treatment,” Ellen Benhamou, Jonathan’s mother, said. “They did a transplant of nerves on one leg and attached the nerves to the muscle on the amputation.”

Jonathan's story is inspiring and now, we want to raise money for soldiers that require the same surgery and Prosthetics not offered in Israel.

The funds raised will go directly to providing flights and accommodation.
