From Pain to Hope: The Moving Initiative for Wounded Soldiers

The father and sister of a Border Police soldier seriously wounded in the battle at Nir Am initiated a day of jeep tours and a meal for wounded soldiers, in collaboration with the associations "Growing as Winners" and "Brothers for the Grill."

The father and sister of a Border Police soldier seriously wounded in the battle at Nir Am on October 7 turned personal pain into a mission for the war wounded. Together with the associations "Growing as Winners" and "Brothers for the Grill," they initiated a special day that included a challenging jeep tour and a shared meal. Guy Gottlieb, father of the soldier Yarden, harnessed his love for off-road trips for the sake of wounded soldiers. Yarden's twin sister, Yam, joined the journey. Tzuri Friedman, CEO of the "Growing as Winners" association, who was himself wounded about a decade ago and copes with post-trauma, founded the association to help others through challenges and physical activity. Yossi Chaim, CEO of the "Brothers for the Grill" association, founded the association on October 7 and cooks and feeds soldiers every week. The article emphasizes that the soldiers' battle continues even after injury, and that rehabilitation requires community and support.
