ISRAEL AT WAR
The needs of our lone soldiers are critical right now. The Michael Levin Lone Soldier Foundation is working hard to ensure that life saving supplies and equipment are getting to soldiers. Your donation will help up to keep them warm, hydrated and with all the supplies necessary to do what they have been trained to do.
As the war goes on those needs will change and evolve. The Foundation will be there to ensure that our soldiers have what they need. The most critical need right now is for mental health services.
Your donation in any amount makes a difference, right now as our soldiers fight to defend our Homeland Israel please consider giving generously.
Our soldiers are depending on us!
Getting Lifesaving supplies to our soldiers – $1000
We’re working hard to send supplies to our soldiers, we have the connections to get those supplies to Israel and have them distributed but we need your support for the cost of transporting these important items
Mental Health Counseling – $750
The Michael Levin Lone Soldier Foundation funds one-on-one mental health counseling for currently serving and reservist lone soldiers. Your donation ensures that this counseling can be provided to those in need. With the war still raging these services are needed more than ever, and The Foundation is funding counseling for soldiers in their native language and in the city where they live.
Special Emergency Supplies – $500
Critical items needed by our soldiers can be hard to get in Israel. We are assisting in the acquisition of needed supplies such as tourniquets, first aid kits, hand warmers, socks, blankets, sleeping bags, blister bandages, thermal wear and more.
Essentials Package – $250
Lone Soldiers and lone b’not sheirut come to Israel ready to serve but not always equipped with the basics. Some may lack the funds to purchase daily essential items on their own. Your donation provides them with essential items like towels, blankets, toiletries, laundry detergent, winter wear, socks and more; ensuring that any Lone Soldier or lone b’not sheirut in need has all the basic items without worry.
Toiletry package – $36 (provide for 10 soldiers for $360)
The toiletry package includes basic items such as toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, deodorant and feminine hygiene products.
Shabbat Dinner for one soldier – $18 (feed 10 soldiers for $180)
For many Lone Soldiers it’s hard to make arrangements for Shabbat meals while on base, or they arrive home too late on Friday to shop and cook. The availability of fully prepared Shabbat meals can help alleviate the stress of worrying what they will do for Shabbat. And who doesn’t want to feed a soldier!?
With your donation you may request a card handwritten by Harriet Levin be sent in honor or memory of someone (minimum donation to send a card is $18)
