War Fundraising Effort
Dear Friends:
A few hours after the Saturday, October 7 murderous attack on Israeli citizens and the horrifying outcomes began to emerge, Shamir Medical Center’s management opened the Emergency Hospitalization complex to provide medical care to the wounded. The hospital needs our support as it requires additional equipment and supplies for its Emergency Hospitalization complex and for its ER and ORs.
I am turning to you with a plea for assistance and support to maximize Shamir Medical Center’s ability to address patients’ needs; increase the effectiveness of its efforts; provide medical care for large numbers of incoming patients; and to ensure its ability to treat the wounded at any given time within the shortest time frame of this emergency.
I ask that you open the following link and contribute as much as you can: https://israel-underattack-en.forms-wizard.biz/ I assure you that your money will go directly towards the Shamir Medical Center’s care of these wounded people. Thank you for your generosity.
Yours,
Irina A. Olevsky, Esq., President
