Join Us In Aiding Our Troops
Erica and Chen are raising money in support of the soldiers who are courageously fighting for the safety and survival of Israel and to bring our hostage’s home.
We are so appreciative of everyone’s gracious efforts in supporting the IDF soldiers on the ground right now.
Initially, our goal was to raise $10,000. We surpassed it! So far, we have donated $5,000 of these funds on the items listed below:
-800 long sleeve dry fit army-colored shirts with the help of Erica's uncle,Jay Lewitt.
-20 high-quality camel backs.
-10 pairs of high-quality tactical boots.
-Personalized thank you letters from children attending Wise school (free of charge and coordinated by teachers Leah and Ashley).
Chen's uncle Gal paid for shipping of the shirts and received shipments. From there, Chen's brother Hagai packed and distributed items to units in the north and south.
As we all know, this war is unfortunately ongoing. Chen and Erica are in frequent contact with Chen’s brother Hagai and their friends in Israel. They are expressing their needs firsthand and we want to assist. Hagai will purchase the necessary gear from a supplier in Israel who is working with the military. Our new goal is to raise $18,000 more to reach $25,000!!!
This money will go towards three different IDF units who are all requesting tactical helmets.
We greatly appreciate a donation in any amount, every cent counts!!!
Any additional funds we raise above that amount will be donated to any continuing needs of our soldiers and to NATAL, a trauma and resiliency center located in Israel.
This cause is important to us because Chen was raised in Israel, his entire family are there, and Chen served in the IDF as a combat engineer from the ages of 18-21. Like many Israelis and American Jews who previously served in the IDF, it is especially difficult to be in the U.S. while we watch our brothers and sisters relentlessly fighting to rescue the 240 souls taken from us.
***Please note that we have not opened a non-profit organization. Therefore, these donations are not tax-deductible. If that causes anyone to donate less or not at all, we completely understand and encourage you to donate to other causes raising money in support of Israel. Thank you! ***
With Love,
Erica and Chen Turgeman
We love you all, thank you for all you do. With God blessings we will do and succeed.
