Every step forward, every dollar raised, brings us closer to a future where no child has to suffer the way Shir did.

As Israel faces one of the most challenging periods in recent history, with conflict and uncertainty all around us, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Every day, we brace ourselves for what might come next. But as August 23rd approaches, I’m holding my breath for another reason. It would have been my son Shir’s 5th birthday—a day that now symbolizes both deep sorrow and unwavering hope.
Shir was just a little over a year old when we first noticed something wasn’t right. Despite countless doctor visits, it wasn’t until months later that we learned the unthinkable: our bright, happy boy had neuroblastoma, an aggressive cancer that was already spreading through his tiny body. Despite our relentless efforts, including treatments in both Israel and the United States, we lost Shir before his third birthday.
