Please join us now in supporting United Hatzalah and letting Israelis know that their family in Greenwich stands firmly by their side. United Hatzalah’s ambulances and 7,000 volunteers provide critical care to Israel’s servicemen and women and civilians every day, and supplies are running perilously low. We will double the impact of your support; a United Hatzalah board member who is a Greenwich resident has generously offered to match all Greenwich donations.

In the wake of Hamas’ evil, premeditated, and unprovoked attack on Israel, United Hatzalah immediately took action. As of Sunday morning, United Hatzalah medics have treated over 1,000 soldiers, adults, and children, often under brutal conditions. Tragically, medics are treating babies found lying next to their slain parents.
In this state of emergency, unlike anything Israel has experienced since the Yom Kippur War, Israel needs our urgent support. United Hatzalah is launching an emergency appeal to raise funds for desperately needed supplies, which will provide volunteers with the equipment they need to save lives and the protective equipment to keep themselves safe. The goal of the campaign is to raise $20 million to replenish supplies and equip an additional 1,000 United Hatzalah volunteers with protective vests and helmets, oxygen tanks, defibrillators, trauma bandages, and tourniquets. United Hatzalah’s existing inventory of medical supplies and equipment that was supposed to be sufficient for the next year is now completely depleted, and there is an immediate need to order more. These supplies can be ordered and delivered over the course of the next week to ensure that United Hatzalah volunteers have everything they need to respond to the ongoing attacks. United Hatzalah medics are on the front line and in need of support and reinforcements as they respond to lifesaving calls.
In Israel’s greatest hour of need in 50 years, the Greenwich community stands squarely with our brothers and sisters in Israel. We ask that everyone contribute what he or she is comfortable to support United Hatzalah’s immediate and essential needs.

Thank you for your support at this time of emergency in Israel.
Am Yisrael Chai!
Sincerely,
Rabbi Yossi and Maryashie Deren
