The Bring Them Light project was born out of the profound grief and disbelief following the tragic events of October 7th, where over 1,400 lives were brutally taken.
In the face of such darkness, we sought to find hope and light. It was not enough to mourn these souls—we felt a deep need to honor each one, not as faceless victims, but as individuals with rich, meaningful lives.
From this place, we created the concept of 1400 Lights, 1400 Souls : Every Bulb represents a Name, Every Barcode tells a Story.
We raised money for a temporary commemorative monument but we are seeking to create a more intimate monument to Bring Them Light, the essence of the project —a mission to celebrate how they lived.
It became clear that simply commemorating these lives wasn’t enough.
We needed to know each person, to share their stories.
Through interviews with families, we’ve gathered precious memories, photos, and videos, translating these into personal tributes.
Each video, set to the music that filled their lives, brings their stories to life.
This project is not about how they died, but how they loved, laughed, and lived.
It’s about husbands, wives, parents, sons, daughters, and friends who were taken too soon.
Families have shared their memories with us, allowing us to preserve not just names, but legacies.
While the creation of the light monument required an incredible fundraising effort, the process of creating these videos is more delicate—families, still grieving, need time to open up. Yet, when they do, the gratitude they express is overwhelming. It's our way to show them we will never forget and always share their light back into the world.
These videos ensure that their loved ones are remembered as vibrant individuals, not just victims.
But to continue this important work, we need your help. We must raise the necessary funds to keep telling these stories, ensuring that their light shines on, not just in memory, but in the hearts of those who knew them and those who never had the chance.
This project is more than a commemoration—it’s a call to remember, to honor, and to ensure that their light shines on in our collective memory.
To bring this vision to life, we need your support. Each donation helps us create a space of light, love, and remembrance, reminding the world that behind the numbers were individuals who mattered deeply.
Let’s come together to ensure that these stories are never forgotten.
Donate today and help us keep their light alive.
