Benjy B.

Family and friends,

After running my first marathon last year, I have caught the bug and am excited to be running my second marathon next week, on 12 January in Tiberius.

For me, this is amazing opportunity to raise money for a charity close to my heart!

Orr Shalom is Israel’s largest non-profit organisation that rescues children, from all sectors of Israeli society, who have suffered severe abuse and neglect. Orr Shalom gives them warm, loving homes and helps them to overcome their challenges and rebuild their lives.

I am excited to support Orr Shalom’s campaign to rescue 24 abused boys and save their home from closure! Please click on the main campaign page for more information.

Thank you so much for your support,

Love Benjy

Meet the Reut boys

 
 

Eliav, nine, has lived in Orr Shalom’s Reut Home for Boys for three years. Aged six, he was found scavenging for food on the Tel Aviv streets, at night. His mother, a victim of violence traumatized from life experiences, could not look after him. Home was the old Tel Aviv Central Bus Station. When Eliav arrived at Orr Shalom, he had suffered severe neglect. He did not speak, his clothes and body were dirty, and he had animal-like behavior.

Today, Eliav is an independent, sociable boy who has learnt basic life skills. He built up strong relationships in Reut, and can communicate through speech. His mother regularly visits him and the staff is helping them forge a positive relationship

Reut believed in Eliav and changed his life. Help Eliav and 23 boys like him...

Success!! Stage 1 is complete!

 
 

STAGE ONE COMPLETE!!

Thanks to your amazing support, we have raised in an incredibly short timeframe the funds to complete Stage One of renovations at Orr Shalom’s Reut home for boys.

We are now one step closer to saving Reut, and to the 24 abused boys not losing their homes! Thank you!

But we still have more to do to save this home...please help us with Stage Two...we need your help now!

 
     
 
 

See for yourself the impact the Reut Home had on Tzvika, a 23 year old dancer.
