Dear Klal Yisroel,

I never imagined I'd be the mother who has to catheterize her four-month-old baby. Four times. Every single day.

I never imagined watching other babies kick their legs while mine just... don't move.

Our precious Yitzy was born with Myelomeningocele Spina Bifida – the most severe form. His spinal cord didn't form properly, leaving him partially paralyzed from birth. Mentally, he's perfect. But he's trapped in a body that won't obey him.

We made aliyah recently, dreaming of building a beautiful life in Israel. Then Yitzy was born, and everything changed.

The doctors gave us a narrow window: Intensive physical therapy NOW, multiple times per week, and his brain may compensate. He could walk. Wait too long, and that window closes forever.

I can't return to work – Yitzy needs constant care. My husband works double shifts. We're drowning. The therapy costs hundreds of shekels per session and isn't covered by insurance. But we refuse to let our baby spend his life in a wheelchair because we couldn't afford therapy.

Every session is teaching his tiny brain how to send signals to his legs. Every week of therapy is a chance. Every day we wait, we're losing precious time.

He's four months old. His entire life is ahead of him.

The window is closing. Please donate now to help Yitzy walk.

Thank you from the depths of my broken heart,

Yitzy's Ima
