Quebec Negev Gala
Thank you for your support!
Your donation will help expand access to trauma-informed rehabilitation, therapy, and pediatric care in southern Israel. You can still give to support this essential project.
On May 25, 2025, community members came together for an evening in support of expanding rehabilitative care in southern Israel.
Although the event has concluded, your impact doesn’t have to. You can still donate to help fund the Ashdod Rehabilitation & Therapy Centre—a vital project addressing the urgent need for trauma recovery, pediatric oncology support, and disability care in the aftermath of October 7.
