"Our daughter Hila returned from a magical month-long journey in Canada an experience that was so much more than just a trip. For us, it was a ray of light after darkness. Hope after pain. A deep breath after a long period of suffocation.
Since the events of October 7th, our daughter like so many others was exposed to a reality far too heavy for a child to carry. As her parents, our hearts broke when we couldn't fully shield her from the sadness, the fear, and the confusion.
Then came your delegation wrapped in love, care, professionalism, and the biggest hearts we could have hoped for.
Throughout the journey, we truly felt there was someone to rely on from the constant support, the listening ear, to every little detail you thoughtfully took care of. Hila returned with shining eyes, a smile we missed dearly, sweet memories, new friendships, and renewed confidence.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you - For your open hearts, your endless giving, your warmth, and for truly seeing each and every child.There are no words just tears of gratitude and deep emotion."

"We will share with you that since 7.10 he has been in crazy anxiety.
He stays away from friends and is mostly closed in his room.
The last diagnosis of the psychiatrist was very troubling and that helped us to decide to send him on IVOW. It was important to do everything to heal his soul.
IVOW did him wonders!
He returned in the light, suddenly smiling, calm sharing and talking. Really mental treatment for everything.
There is no doubt the road is longer, but you start to see the light.
We have no words to thank you."
(One of our families from the Southern City of Netivot)
