Help us Raise Much Needed Funds for Life-Saving Emergency All-Terrain Evacuation Vehicles (ATV) in Israel

During these most difficult times in Israel we face daily stabbings, shootings, vehicular attacks and the hurling of Molotov cocktails, as well as the ongoing threat of missile attacks and earthquakes. It is imperative that we help the Israeli medical system prepare for any and all eventualities. We urge you to support our efforts to raise much needed funds for procuringlife-saving emergency ATVs. These vehicles are designed to allow first responders to quickly and effectively retrieve casualties from dangerous, inaccessible terrain and bring them to awaiting ambulances and helicopters. Saving time and utilizing resources appropriately will save lives and decrease disability.

Vehicle naming opportunities are available for individuals or groups.
