Your donation is NOW worth DOUBLE!!! have generously agreed to MATCH every donation - up to $10,000, until the end of July 2012...
Today, your gift will go TWICE as far!!!

We need your help to save 24 abused boys' home from closure.

We need to complete stage 2 of the renovations to keep Reut open. This will renovate and refurbish the boys' bedrooms and the living quarters. Please help us raise $25,000.

Without Reut, these 24 boys have nowhere to go. They are such extreme cases that no other framework in Israel will care for them. Reut’s 24 boys have suffered severe abuse, neglect and tragedy and endure deep behavioral, learning and psychiatric difficulties. Without Reut they would be on the street or locked up in psychiatric wards or juvenile detention centers.

These 24 boys have suffered enough and need your help now!

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.
