The war isn’t in the headlines the way it was on day one. But in Israel, nothing has changed. The sirens still sound. The shelters are still full. Families are still underground, still waiting, still wondering when it ends.
We know this because we’re here. The Israel365 office is minutes from Beit Shemesh, where a missile struck a shelter roof on Shabbat morning, killing nine people and wounding dozens more — including a 10-year-old girl. That wasn’t a distant news story for our team. We know those streets. Since that morning, the injured have kept coming: families pulled from rubble, children treated for shrapnel wounds, elderly residents who couldn’t reach a shelter in time. The toll is real, and it is still growing.
When that news reached our supporter, you didn’t wait.
Together, you have raised over $38,500 for families caught in Iran’s assault on Israeli civilians. That money is going to families who have nowhere else to turn and are forever grateful for your support.
What does $38,500 actually do? It covers emergency housing for families whose homes took direct hits. It puts food in shelters where families have been living underground for days. It funds therapy for children who survived the last war and are now reliving it — the same sirens, the same fear, the same question of whether the walls will hold this time. Israeli soldiers have been called up on emergency orders, leaving families behind with no warning and no timeline. Your gifts are reaching those families too.
The missiles are still coming. The need hasn’t peaked — it’s still building. Hospitals have moved patients underground. Ben Gurion Airport has shut down. Families who rebuilt after June 2025 are back in the shelters, and some of them have no shelter at all.
But $38,500 is proof of something important: when Israel is under fire, this community responds.
The Bible speaks plainly about this moment. “He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep” (Psalm 121:4). Neither, it turns out, will you. Your generosity is a living expression of that covenant — standing with the people of Israel not in principle, but in practice, when the sirens are sounding and the need is real.
If you’re able to keep helping Israel get through this dark time, please donate here. Every dollar reaches the ground immediately.
Thank you for not looking away.
