Right now, tens of thousands of Israeli veterans are suffering with no help. Most can't afford treatment. Many are losing hope. But there's a small window to change that - and it starts with you.
But a small group of reservists discovered something that's changing everything.
Meet Ben - a lone soldier from Australia who joined Nahal Recon just before October 7th. After two years of intense combat, he's struggling to put his life back together.
Meet Yaron, who rescued civilians under fire on October 7th and had to shout Shema Yisrael so they would believe he wasn't a Hamas terrorist coming to kill them. Now he struggles to hear those same words uttered in prayers.
These are just two of tens of thousands of Israeli veterans suffering from trauma right now, with nowhere to turn.
Until Hope Hills.
From Fighting to Farming
Hope Hills is a unique therapy farm in the Negev desert where trauma-stricken veterans work with animals, plant vineyards and raise crops. Here, veterans regain purpose, recover mentally and physically, and start to rebuild their lives.
The farm was founded by Matan, a Captain in Airborne Recon. Most of the volunteers are veterans themselves - they fought Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza. Some were wounded in action, many lost friends. They know what recovery means, firsthand.
And they're doing something remarkable: every single person on the team is a volunteer. Nobody is getting paid. There are no large organizations involved here.
That means every cent you donate goes directly to helping Israeli veterans recover.

What Makes Hope Hills Different
The farm combines professional trauma treatment with meaningful work. Veterans receive trauma care facilities, medical professional supervision, mental health sessions, group therapy, and therapeutic yoga sessions. The team is working to build a small therapy pool if they can raise enough funds.
But it's more than just therapy sessions. Veterans tend to animals, cultivate vineyards, and watch the desert transform into fertile farmland under their hands. They're not just healing - they're building something greater.
The farm also helps at-risk youth in the area get off the streets by giving them a place where they belong, where they can learn valuable skills and build themselves up together. Time and time again, farms like this have proven to completely transform an area, not just agriculturally but also socially.
You Can Help Right Now

Why This Matters
After two years of war, these veterans gave everything to protect Israel without hesitation. Now we have a chance to give something back.
It is said that one who saves a single life saves the entire world. Here, you have the opportunity to rebuild so many.
Going forward, once the first farm is set up, the goal is to open at least 3 more and help more communities in different parts of Israel.
But that starts with helping the veterans who are suffering right now, today.
