Following the brutal attack on the Jewish people on October 7, 2023, 300,000 brave IDF reservists were called to join active duty soldiers to defend the citizens of Israel. The Israeli army is unable to provide appropriate combat equipment for the sheer number of soldiers who are currently serving.

Among the soldiers currently lacking the equipment they need to stay safe, are the Communications Unit of the 55th Paratroopers (Tzanchanim) Brigade, Battalion 71, who are asking for funds to help purchase new protective equipment including combat helmets and bulletproof vests.

We need your support to ensure these brave soldiers have the state-of-the-art equipment they need to carry out their mission.

Many of us are struggling to find something concrete we can do to help our Israeli brothers and sisters and protect the Jewish people. It's easy to feel helpless sitting safely at home while so many are preparing to fight on the front lines, but this is something direct and immediate that we can do to help protect those who are protecting us. Your donation will go directly towards purchasing equipment, with no overhead other than credit card processing fees.

Please consider adding an additional 3% to your donation to help cover transaction fees. This is separate from the optional donation FreeFunder requests.

Donate today to ensure that our soldiers have the resources they need to protect our homeland and the Jewish people.
