Just recently, Yitzchak ben Miriam, a 14-year-old boy, was diagnosed with a severe and life-threatening illness. The news struck his family without warning and turned their lives upside down.
After extensive testing and consultations with leading specialists in Israel and abroad, doctors reached a clear and unanimous conclusion: Yitzchak’s only chance of survival is an urgent, life-saving treatment overseas. The treatment exists, the doctors are ready—but it is not covered by insurance, and the cost is far beyond what his family can afford.
This is a case of absolute pikuach nefesh. Every day without treatment places Yitzchak in greater danger. Time is critical, and waiting is not an option.
Yitzchak comes from a humble, hardworking family who have exhausted every possible avenue to save their son. They now face an impossible reality: knowing their child can be saved, but lacking the means to do so. They have no means to pay for the life-saving medical treatment abroad, including medical flights, lodging and ongoing care.
Chazal teach us that whoever saves one Jewish life is considered as though they saved an entire world. Today, that world is Yitzchak—a 14-year-old boy with a pure heart and an entire future ahead of him.
Time is running out. We cannot stand by.
Please open your hearts and help save Yitzchak’s life.
