A new fundraising campaign has been launched to support 573 children and young people who lost a parent in the October 7 Hamas attacks. The "Atufim Be'ahava" (ICF) organization, in partnership with Bank Hapoalim's Bit app and the Shufersal retail chain, aims to ensure long-term support for these individuals.
From Wednesday until October 14, a dedicated donation button will be available on the Bit app's homepage. Simultaneously, between October 7 and October 14, extensive fundraising will occur at Shufersal stores nationwide and on its online platform. Donations can also be made directly through the Atufim Be'ahava website.
Yiri Yaacobi Horowitz, CEO of Atufim Be'ahava, emphasized the importance of the ongoing collaboration. "This is the third consecutive year that Bank Hapoalim and Shufersal are choosing to stand by the children and young people who lost a parent on October 7 and to be partners in our work for them," she stated.
Horowitz highlighted the organization's commitment to supporting these individuals for the next 27 years, aiming to help them build full and independent lives despite their trauma and loss. "We are committed to continuing to support the children and young people we accompany for the next 27 years, and to help them build full and independent lives alongside the trauma and loss," she said. "Three years after that terrible day, we understand more than ever that this is a long journey, full of difficulties and challenges, and that many changing needs still exist."
Atufim Be'ahava was established shortly after October 7 and provides a comprehensive support system including financial aid, rehabilitation and resilience support, educational assistance, and guidance through significant life milestones. This support is provided with close personal and professional accompaniment until the beneficiaries reach the age of 30, with the goal of helping them build optimal lives.
