Support Recovering

IDF Soldiers

 

Yad Sarah, Israel’s largest medical equipment and supplies lending NGO, is facing a life-endangering deficit in its inventory of Mobile Oxygen Generators and additional Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) machines.  To bridge the gap, Yad Sarah seeks urgent funding to purchase and airlift 1,000 units of Mobile Oxygen Generators, each currently priced at $1430 and 250-500 CPM machines priced at $1,390. This will enable the Yad to provide essential support to those that may not be able to procure a CPM elsewhere due to high costs and shortages.
