Yad Sarah Vans in High Demand
As we celebrate Israel’s Independence Day, we also solemnly mark Remembrance Day for our Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Terror. As usual, we at Yad Sarah seek ways to be involved in the community and to support our bereaved families during this very difficult and emotional time.
This year, as in the past, we offered the services of our specially-equipped YadSaraVans to transport bereaved family members in wheelchairs to the cemeteries of their loved ones. Our volunteer drivers are joined by young people from local high schools who wait at the entrances of the cemeteries to accompany the bereaved families to the graves.
We Support Our Bereaved Families
Yad Sarah enables bereaved family members who are wheelchair bound to visit their loved ones’ graves in the military cemeteries on Remembrance Day for Fallen IDF Soldiers and Victims of Terror. YadSaraVans throughout the country take them to the cemeteries and back – for free.
This is our contribution – to cherish and assist the families who lost their loved ones,” says Yad Sarah Founder Uri Lupolianski. The drivers and vans take people to the military cemeteries at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem and Kiryat Shaul in Tel Aviv as well as in Haifa and Be’er Sheva. The specially equipped vans have an elevator for wheelchairs and regular seating for additional family members.
In addition, volunteer high school students with wheelchairs and scooters wait at the entrance to the military cemetery on Mount Herzl and offer to take people who have difficulty walking to the graves of their loved ones.
