SUSYA’S RAPID RESPONSE TEAM NEEDS YOUR HELP!

SUSYA (population 1,500) is located in south Hevron.

Our community is located adjacent to the Arab cities of Yatta and Samua, whose 150,000 residents are known to be a hotbed of terror and Hamas supporters.

As we have no security fence surrounding our community, our rapid response defense team needs to be prepared to respond instantly to numerous threats in varied terrain with differing topography.

Support the security forces protecting our yishuv!

The primary mission of SSF-Rescuers Without Borders is to intervene rapidly to help civilians – regular people during natural disasters, accidents, terrorist attacks, and also in times of war. And since Saturday October 7, war has been raging in Israel, where Hamas is carrying out a large-scale terrorist attacks across the country.

In times of crisis, it’s the brave souls who selflessly risk their lives to deliver life-saving aid that make a world of difference. We’re reaching out to you on behalf of SSF Young Leadership-Miami, where our dedicated volunteers are on a mission to support these unsung heroes.

Since 2016, our animal therapy farms in Kibbutz Urim and Sderot, near the Gaza strip, have successfully treated children suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Since October 7, 2023, our two farms have been closed indefinitely. The areas are closed military zones and most of the people have been evacuated.

Givat Ze’ev’s Kitat Konenut is a Rapid Response Team (RRT) on call 24/7.
Our RRT members are highly skilled, with elite military background.
Located in every one of Givat Ze’ev’s neighborhoods, they volunteer as first responders in case of terror attack or infiltration, chalila.

The RRT lacks essential tactical equipment, including bulletproof vests, helmets, night vision capabilities and more.

Our RRT members put their lives on the line to protect our families. Please help us ensure they are provided with the protection and gear they need!

We have recently experienced in Eshkolot, on our roads and neighboring towns several severe incidents including resuscitations, fatal car accidents and other medical emergencies where we sat, lacking the crucial advanced equipment and the ability to reach a hospital, while many long minutes went by before an ambulance arrived on scene

We- the local medical volunteer team- have therefore decided to raise funds for the cause of saving lives.

How can you help?

Any contribution -of any amount- will bring us one step closer to our goal of purchasing an ambulance and advanced resuscitation and monitoring  equipment  so that we can save the life of one more grandmother, grandfather, mother, father , daughter or neighbor.

Our project “Our Loved Ones” is a social assistance program which supports Holocaust survivors living in precariousness and isolation in Israel. Very recently, the association facilitated the evacuation from Ukraine of 23 Holocaust survivors and their arrival in Israel, in a difficult context. We want to include these vulnerable people in this program and we are committed to covering part of their basic expenses (food, housing).

This program is based on the investment of young volunteers, mostly students, who bring time, listening and human warmth to the beneficiaries, while maintaining a social bond.

These young students receive a scholarship to help them pay for their studies.

Many children are struggling with PTSD in the south of Israel. Rescuers Without Borders has created a farm to help them with zootherapy. Hundreds of children have been able to benefit from this therapy and have thus overcome their PTSD.

Over the past year, we have trained over 60 young people in the Jewish community of Gondar, Ethiopia. Advanced resuscitation kits were given away to the course graduates.

The Sea of Galilee, known locally as the Kinneret, is the only fresh-water lake in all of Israel. Every summer, the entire Israeli population descends on it’s shores. And sadly, there are drownings and near-drownings every summer. For that reason, we have created a Maritime Search and Rescue Unit, that can be activated to work on a 24/7 basis, complete with advanced equipment, to assist maritime rescue missions.

We decided to set up a mobile emergency unit when we realized that we often have to work in the field when there is a fire, a search and rescue mission, so forth. The mobile emergency unit can be used as a command center for our field operations while cooperating with other emergency teams.
