Yad Sarah
Purchases Additional New Home Hospital Van Using Funds from
Daily Giving Donation
A generous
donation from 18,000 Daily Givers allows Yad Sarah
to expand Home Hospital service and reduce pressure on
overwhelmed hospitals in Israel.
JERUSALEM, Israel
- Yad
Sarah, Israel’s leading volunteer-staffed
organization, announced today that it has purchased an
additional Home Hospital van, using funds from Daily Giving
– a non-profit organization that collects and distributes
charitable giving to Jewish non-profits around the world.
The newest addition to Yad Sarah’s fleet of vans will enable
the organization to deliver additional home hospitalization
units – including beds, wheelchairs, and oxygen
concentrators – to reduce hospital stays and support
individuals recovering at home.
“Yad Sarah is
deeply committed to providing compassionate care to the
people of Israel – a need that has grown significantly since
October 7,” said Adele Goldberg, Executive Director of
Friends of Yad Sarah. “The organization’s home hospital vans
are a large part of this mission, and we are grateful for
Daily Giving’s support in helping us reach significantly
more individuals, communities, and families in need.”
As a result of the
ongoing war, hospitals in Israel are significantly
overwhelmed with injured soldiers and civilians. Yad Sarah’s
home hospitalization service addresses this need by
delivering and installing medical equipment that permits
individuals to recover at home. This service supports
soldiers wounded in combat as well as victims of the October
7 attacks, evacuate civilians, and more.
Daily Giving is a
Jewish non-profit that empowers people to fulfill the
mitzvah of tzedakah every
day. Givers donate between one and 50 dollars daily, and
funds are disbursed to various Jewish non-profit
organizations, including Yad Sarah. Daily Giving’s
cumulative gifts to Yad Sarah over the past two years were
used to purchase a new Home Hospital van. The van features
Daily Giving’s logo and a decal that reads, “Donated by
over 18,000 Daily Givers from around the world,”
underscoring the partnership between Yad Sarah and Daily
Giving. Future Daily Giving donations to the organization
will be allocated to staffing and maintaining the vehicle.
“We select
non-profits making a real difference in the community,” said
Dr. Jonathan Donath, Co-Founder and President of Daily
Giving. “We are grateful to our over 18,000 Daily Givers and
look forward to seeing the positive impact this new Home
Hospital van makes for the people
of Israel.”
On March 13, Yad
Sarah will host a dedication ceremony at Yad Sarah
Headquarters (Beit Yad Sarah) in Jerusalem to unveil the new
van and celebrate the participation of Daily Giving. The
event will commemorate the partnership between Daily Giving
and Yad Sarah, two non-profits with a shared passion for
supporting the
greater community.
