Ahead of the new year and the High Holidays, Make-A-Wish Israel is launching a donation campaign under the message "Some children didn't start the year like everyone else." The organization calls on the public to donate to grant wishes for children battling life-threatening illnesses. For these children, the start of the year involves hospitalizations, tests, and treatments, unlike their peers who return to school and routine. The organization seeks to give them a moment of joy, hope, and strength through fulfilling a personal wish. Dani Bar-Aharon, co-founder and CEO of Make-A-Wish Israel, is quoted: "In this new year, may we all remember how powerful the gift of giving is. There is nothing like the feeling of fulfilling a wish for an Israeli child battling a life-threatening illness." The organization was founded 30 years ago and has fulfilled over 6,500 wishes. The campaign invites the public to donate any amount to help fulfill the next wish.
