Restoring Joy and Dignity to Trauma Victims in Israel
Saturday, February 15, 2025
My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:26
Dear Friends,
Every day, tens of thousands of survivors of terror and trauma in Israel struggle to rebuild their lives. These individuals—mothers, fathers, children, and loved ones—carry deep emotional and physical wounds that require compassion, care, and meaningful rehabilitation. Tragically, the resources currently available are not enough to meet the growing need.
At Vision for Israel, we are committed to standing in the gap. For over 25 years, we have served the people of Israel by offering support to those who need it most. Today, we are moving forward with a bold initiative to provide specialized rehabilitation programs for victims of terrorism and violence.
Victims of terrorism experience trauma in different ways—some manage to rehabilitate successfully, while others struggle to recover. The lasting effects of these attacks turn victims into individuals who must fight for their wounded souls every day. Their daily functioning is impacted, which in turn affects families across Israel and influences society as a whole.
Research has identified various methods for treating individuals who have experienced violence, terrorism, war, and other traumatic events. The primary goal is to support those who are mentally exhausted by developing personalized recovery plans that help them rebuild their lives. Our mission is to provide tailored and meaningful support to those in need.
The current situation in Israel is extremely challenging, with entire communities deeply affected by the October 7, 2023, massacre. The demand for psychological and emotional support continues to grow daily, with an increasing number of applications from those in need. We believe this initiative will play a crucial role in healing and rehabilitating the affected populations. Many individuals who have long received support from Vision for Israel are now seeking to be part of this rehabilitation program.
We have been diligently working to develop effective programs, but their implementation requires significant financial resources. While part of the budget is secured, additional funding is still needed to bring the project to life. Additionally, a skilled team of consultants and professionals in the field is essential to ensure the program’s success.
Your support can help make a real difference in the lives of those who have endured immense hardship.
Will you join us in this mission of hope? Your gift today will help us create a safe space where lives can be rebuilt and hearts can be renewed. Please visit Vision for Israel to make your donation today and dedicate your donation to “Aid to the Poor”.
“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
Revelation 21:4
