Helping People with Disability to Vote!

Yad Sarah - People Helping People, with Disabilities

On Election Day, March 17th, 2015, Yad Sarah will transport disabled citizens who are unable to get to polling stations on their own. This service will be provided with a symbolic minimum fee to people who are wheelchair-bound. Those wishing to avail themselves of this service may reserve a ride by phoning *6444.
In a special campaign 30 YadSarahVans will transport dozens of disabled citizens to the polls to allow them to exercise their democratic right.

  • ``We are pleased to have the privilege of transporting the disabled to the polls enabling them to vote and affect the outcome for society just like every other citizen,`` says Yad Sarah CEO Moshe Cohen.

Yad Sarah operates the largest transportation service for the disabled in Israel with Vans that transport more than 100,000 disabled patients annually.

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.
