"I was with my neighbor when she went into premature labor during a rocket siren. The paramedics told us all the ambulances were responding to emergencies in other cities. She gave birth in her shelter, without proper medical care."
"When my father had a heart attack, we waited 40 precious minutes for an ambulance. Every second felt like an eternity."
"Just yesterday, I had three critical cases at once. We had to choose who would get the ambulance first. No emergency responder should have to make that choice."
Every day in Israel's South, while our dedicated ZAKA360 volunteers rush to respond to emergency calls, we're missing a basic life-saving tool: An ambulance in our region.
We urgently need your help to transport people to safety as quickly as possible so they can receive proper medical care.
The cost of an ambulance is $220,000 - A small price for the number of precious Jewish lives it can save. The next emergency call could come at any moment. Please donate here to help us be ready when it does.
Thank you,
Zaka360
