Five-month-old Ruwand is a twin born with five heart defects plus an esophagus which doesn't reach her stomach. Her hopes of surviving without access to advanced medical care in Israel are medically-speaking nil. With God's help we brought her to the Wolfson Medical Center on July 6 and she is now being prepared for the first of the surgeries she needs. Click here for the latest update on Ruwand's condition.

Aresh is turning two years old this week. His heart defect, Tetralogy of Fallot, should already have been operated on, and with oxygen saturation of only 69% of normal he is at risk of collapse at any time. We hope to bring him to Israel on Thursday (his birthday) for the gift of a new heart through surgery.

Our current VW van has over 500,000 kilometers, and is used daily to bring children from Iraq and Gaza to hospitals in Israel. Due to transmission and engine problems, it is time to retire this vehicle to back-up duty and bring in a new workhorse for faithful service in the years ahead. Costs are high in Israel due to a nearly 100% tax on new vehicles--but the rewards for saving lives and loving our neighbors are even higher.
