About This Cause
Friends of Yad Sarah is the US-based support organization for Yad Sarah, Israel's largest volunteer-staffed organization, providing caring assistance to more than 1,000,000 people in need. More than 7,000 volunteers staffing 100 branches across Israel provide critical health and home care support services to frail and home-bound elderly, people with disabilities, children with special needs, and victims of terror. In the past year alone, 281,000 wheelchairs and a range of medical and rehab equipment was loaned to people of all ages; 40 vans made 130,000 trips to help people with mobility challenges; geriatric dental clinics served some 7,000 older adults; Yad Sarah's legal aid to the elderly handled 8,000 cases; the family center, providing interventions and therapeutic support in domestic abuse cases, assisted 400 families; 3,700 visits by children with special needs helped parents learn how to play with and nurture their children's growth; and 65,000 home-bound seniors received home visits from caring volunteers. As the need for its services grows -- an increasing number of elderly; children with special needs; terror victims; people with physical challenges -- so does the need for financial support, to acquire and maintain more wheelchairs ($250 each) and a range of other medical equipment and services for all Israelis, regardless of religious, ethnic, or socio-economic background.
