Stories of Success and Support from the ALYN Hospital Community
May 2024
A NOTE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
This week, I found myself at my community’s Yom HaZikaron (Israel’s Memorial Day) commemoration which, of course, has extra meaning this year following the tragic events of October 7, 2023. Within 24 hours, we leave the sadness of Yom HaZikaron to begin the celebration of Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israel’s Independence Day), this year marking the 76th anniversary of Israel’s creation. Children often arrive at ALYN due to tragedy and the care each child receives at ALYN often means that tragedy is followed by the joy of recovery and the opportunity for a life of independence and joy.
EMUNAH'S JOURNEY
What started with seemingly innocuous foot pain turned Emunah and her family’s world upside down. The foot pain quickly escalated into a life-threatening situation that required months of intensive rehabilitation by the therapeutic and medical professionals at ALYN Hospital. Through tears and triumphs, Emunah and her family demonstrate resilience and hope in the face of adversity.
PEDAL FOR A PURPOSE!
Wheels of Love: USA isn't just your average bike ride. It's an opportunity to support ALYN Hospital in Israel, a beacon of hope for children with disabilities. By participating in this event, you're not only challenging yourself physically but also contributing to the well-being of countless children who rely on ALYN's exceptional care.
JEWISH AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH
May is Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM), an opportunity to honor and celebrate the important contributions Jewish Americans have made to American life and beyond. At American Friends of ALYN Hospital, we are marking JAHM by featuring the contributions made by Jewish Americans that shaped ALYN Hospital.
