Aiding Terror Victims

1. Our Fund renders individual assistance only to terror victims. Other social situations are considered rarely and on the exceptional basis.

As a matter of principle, our Fund does not assist the organizations that assist terror victims. Our objective is helping the victims directly, without intermediaries.

2. Considering that we receive many applications, we request that you describe your situation clearly and concisely. Please do not use more than one page 8x11.

  1. The decision on the case is the Fund's prerogative. The Fund does not have to give reasons for rejection. We respond in writing only to those whom we have decided to help.
  2. Each aspect of your request must be backed up by readable copies of documents. For example, if you are a terror victim in need of a plastic surgery, you must furnish with your letter:

    1. Letter from your doctor showing the need for surgery;
    2. An estimate ("otzaat mehir") made out by the clinic or the doctor;
    3. The letter from the social services showing your financial situation;
    4. Your complete mailing address, including the postal index, and all the phone numbers where you can be reached;
    5. A copy of "teudat zeut".

Of course there are situations when people cannot provide a certain document, or even all of the above. However, our caseworkers will rule on your case only after verifying your circumstances, and the documents will speed up the procedure.
