SO many lives have been torn apart by the terror attacks over the past several years.  The tragedies are highly publicized for a few days, then suddenly another attack occurs. 

Our hearts and prayers go out to all the victims and their families, then life goes on.  Yet there are left behind - too many to pick up the pieces and go on with shattered lives.

EXODUS has been able to  raise funds for families like the Siton family.   Elana Siton was killed in the Emmanuel bus attack.  She left behind her husband and six children.  We helped raise funds to pay for a nanny & housekeeper to come in and help with basic necessities, dental work for the children, and more. 

We also helped Shy Amran, of the Nohdim settlement, who lost his wife in a terrorist attack and was left behind with his three small children.  Through funds raised by Exodus and others, Nohdim was able to purchase bullet proof vests and an armored vehicle so that Shy, who was also injured during the attack, can get to work daily in Jerusalem and come home safely to his children. 

* Tamir was injured in Kalkilia as a soldier.  He lost his legs and hands.  He has burns over his entire body.

* Amir, a soldier, was injured in Gaza.  Both of his legs were injured.

* David was an officer in the army when he was injured in Tulkarem.

* Shy was a soldier in Nablus when he was injured.  Now he is paralyzed from the waist down.

* Avi, a civilian, was injured in Samaria.  He is paralyzed.

* Eliezer is a civilian who was injured in Hebron.  He is paralyzed from his waist down.

* Peter was injured in Emmanuel.  He was a soldier and is blind in one eye.

THERE are families that are left shattered like that of Avner Yaskov.  We were able to help his mother, Michal Yaskov, an immigrant widow.  After Avner was killed in Jenin, she was left devastated, unable to work and in need.  She believes she has nothing more to live for.  We know that she does.  There are so many families like this.
