Chana, our friend and coworker, was looking forward to a special trip from Memphis to Israel to visit her son and celebrate a family wedding. She brought her elderly mother along, hoping to make lasting memories together. However, shortly after their arrival, the war with Iran broke out, turning what should have been a joyful occasion into a time of uncertainty and fear.

Amid the chaos, Chana's mother suffered a serious fall and required surgery for a broken femur. Navigating medical care in a foreign country while under the stress of an active conflict has been incredibly challenging for both of them. On top of the emotional toll, Chana now faces the reality of extended time away from home and work, as well as the need for special travel arrangements so her mother can return safely.

We are coming together as a team to support Chana during this difficult time. The funds raised will help cover the cost of medical travel for her mother and provide some relief from lost income. Our team is working to keep her motivated and let her know we miss her and are here to support her. It means a lot to show your support of our teammate Chana, who is in a war zone. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference and remind her that she is not alone. Due to access issues, we will be collecting on behalf of Chana and sending her the money directly (via Zelle).
