Hi, my name is Max and for my Bar-mitzvah, instead of accepting gifts I would like to help raise much needed funds for the innocent Israeli children who have been horrifically impacted by the deadly attack on October 7.

I have been deeply affected by what has happened in my homeland, and for this reason I have chosen The Israeli Children's Fund who provide children who have been affected by terrorist attacks with immediate and steady support that they need to heal and move forward.

These funds will provide these children who have either lost one or both parents to acts of terrorism or who have one or both parents being held hostage, with security and stability to cope with the near-impossible challenge of their tremendous loss. Every donation counts and will make a difference in the lives of these children. I am grateful for any support you can provide.
