Brandon (7) and Lexi (6) had the privilege of meeting United Hatzala's founder, Eli Beer, earlier this year and were very inspired by his story and the work of United Hatzala. They were enamored with his shiny orange ambucycle and the idea of “saving a life." When they heard Eli was sick with COVID-19 this week, while being quarantined at home, they decided this was the time to begin their effort to raise funds for an ambucycle, to help save lives in Israel, and in honor of a refuah shelaima (a complete and speedy recovery) for Eli.
They are currently thinking of services they can offer to earn money while in quarrantine and look forward to making many lemonade stands and providing other services to earn money to reach this goal as soon as possible.
Please take a look at the important work Eli and United Hatzala performs using ambucycles, in the links below:

Please join us in raising funds for this important piece of lifesaving medical equipment. Any amount you give brings us closer to our goal and will help save more lives.
Thank you,
Chelsea and Matthew Schames
