From the Founder
A Personal Message from Me
Since October 7, I wake up every morning with a deep sense of purpose. On that day, I simply lit a small match, but together we have created a great light that reaches our soldiers wherever they are.
I see the hundreds of volunteers, the mothers who cook with love, the drivers who set out at all hours, the therapists who provide strength and support to our soldiers, the parents whose children are serving on the front lines, and the bereaved families who choose to transform their pain into acts of giving.
Each and every one of them is a light.
I am deeply grateful to everyone who travels this journey with us, and together we will continue to stand by the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces and those who are in need.
With love and gratitude,
Orit Cohen Peleg
Founder and Chairwoman
