ALYN Hospital and the PELE track of the Innovation Space have been steadfast in their commitment to helping survivors of the tragedy rebuild their lives. With the outbreak of war and the evacuation of civilians from their homes, PELE has gone into action to provide critical assistive technology solutions to help children and adolescents with disabilities be equipped to adapt in this new reality.

The PELE team is working together with general hospitals caring for soldiers wounded in war and young people maimed in the horrendous terrorist attack of October 7th. PELE is also creating and adapting solutions for children who have been displaced from their homes and are lacking the assistive equipment they left behind. These solutions aim to increase their independence and ensure that they can continue to grow and develop even in these chaotic times.

Together, we can empower survivors with the tools they need to regain independence, mobility, and hope for a brighter future.

We’ve set an ambitious goal to raise $31,000 before Giving Tuesday is over to cover the cost of the supplies needed to produce these assistive devices over the next few months – and we’ll need your help.

Sincerely,

Adam Schwartz
Executive Director
American Friends of ALYN Hospital
