Sharsheret only helps Jewish women with carcinoma (not other types of breast cancer) who have families (not those who fight alone) ??????<br><br>I called over a year ago, poured out my soul and I was told they would get back to me.

This organization got started around the same time as 9 / 11 but in Israel where the founders lost their daughter to a n act of terrorism and responded by creating something that does a large amount of good work with children who have disabilities. more specifically they provide support to the parents of children with special needs so that they can continue to live at home where the family loves them and can look after. i saw the two founders speaking at an event in Jeruslaem went I went there to give my solidarity and to visit. I was really impressed by the way they responded to lemons by making lemon juice, but really it's impressive and not a light matter at all. malki was their daughter and the name keren malki is a reminder of her life. she was a special young woman, only 15 when Hamas terrorists killed her. and today hundreds of children, and that includes muslims, living in Israel are helped in her memory.

This charity helps the needy in Israel with much needed food, blessing come in many acts, a helping hand is one sent from God.

OneFamily’s mission is to champion the rights and needs of Israel’s victims of terror, and to ensure their rehabilitation and reintegration. We bring Israel’s victims of terror together into one national, self-supportive family. Our vision is to positively affect the rehabilitation of each victim of terror and their family, as well as to empower each victim to achieve their emotional and financial independence. To achieve these goals, OneFamily provides a uniquely comprehensive blend of financial and legal assistance, as well as a variety of holistic emotionally therapeutic programs which are tailor-made for each person, and delivered in our hallmark “family” atmosphere of togetherness that the victims have come to love and trust. <br> <br>At OneFamily we share happy and sad moments together, creating a platform allowing growth, pain, tears and even laughter. Family is not about blood. It’s about who’s willing to hold your hand when you need it the most. We cannot put the pieces of their lives back together for them, but we can stand beside them to guide them every step of the way as they travel the long road of recovery. <br> <br>

I have been volunteering for this organization for some time now. See, at first, it was thought that since we are official registered non-profit 501(c)3 and all, that we would be privy to government funds and grants and such and receive these funds relatively timely manner. But just because we are privy to them, does not mean we would get them nor that we should accept them! Now, you may be asking yourself right now, “why in the hell would we not accept a whole bunch of money being offered to us-regardless of whether its from the government or a politician’s earmark?!?!?!?! Money is Money-right?!?!?!” WRONG! Money is NOT just money, especially in the US and even MORE especially when it comes from a US politician! Those monies almost ALWAYS come with some sort of “special consideration” attached. If you want a perfect example of this, take a look at what recently happened to the Smithsonian Museum when they exhibited an art piece of Jesus with ants all over him. Because this piece of art wasn’t to the liking of a certain politician, the congressman threatened the Smithsonian with pulling some of its funding and alas, the art piece was off the Smithsonian’s walls in a jiffy! Do you mean to tell me you can’t imagine “them” pulling that same bs with us? It would probably happen on almost a weekly basis! I can see it now, some dork politician talkin’ bout “Oh, we dont agree with the fact that you have a tribute exhibition to Tupac Shakur because he was a gangster and a criminal and an extremist….take it down or we’re pulling your funding!” Is that really the kind of museum we want for Hip-Hop? Hells to da naw! And this is why I love and respect this organization so much, despite the many struggles and long financial strife, they have a set standard of businiess and commitment to an ideal that they stick with no matter what-aka THEY WILL NEVER SELL-OUT! I made a commitment when I joined this project all the way back That should count for a lot more than it does these days.
