Hope For Us all: Our Sunshine is Shining Again

On October 7th, our beloved Romi was kidnapped from the Nova Music Festival while attempting to escape from the murderes terrorists together with her best friend, Gaya Halifa, who was tragically murdered in front of her, along with Ben Shimoni and Ofir Tzarfati. These four young, innocent individuals—lovers of peace and music—were simply seeking to enjoy life, as all people their age strive to do. Romi had been held captive for 471 days, enduring unimaginable conditions in tunnels where she has been denied the basic dignity and freedoms that every human deserves. 

We were certain that Romi will return to us alive. And she did!!!!

Romi is facing a challenging road to recovery, requiring intensive physical and psychological therapy. However, we have seen how victim-survivors can heal, even from the darkest of traumas, and we trust in Romi's strength to rebuild her life with the love and support of those around her.

All funds raised through this initiative are going directly to Romi for her recovery and rehabilitation, helping Romi reclaim the life she was meant to live—a life of joy, love, and freedom and a meaningful person as she is. While the path ahead will be difficult, we are confident that with the right care and the unwavering support of our community, Romi is on the right path now.

Please help us plan for Romi and our family’s recovery. Every donation, no matter the amount, provides support and hope. Each dollar you give shows that you stand with us now and in the challenging times ahead. There is incredible power in collective giving.
