Emily Hand

On October 7th, 2023, an unspeakable terror attack shook the core of Israel and good people worldwide, leading to Emily (8), to being held hostage for 50 harrowing days. During this time, she faced horrors that are beyond words without her dad to protect her. The tragedy decimated her home, took away beloved members of her close-knit community through murder or kidnapping, with many still in captivity.

Finally freed on November 25th, 2023, Emily now faces the long, challenging journey of healing from the deep-seated trauma that will, unfortunately, be a part of her life forever.

This fund is a beacon of hope dedicated to supporting her brave soul in her quest for healing and rebuilding her shattered life. Every pound raised will provide a lifeline of mental and physical support — covering housing, nourishment, clothing, and other essential needs — in the days, months, and years to come as she strives to regain a semblance of normalcy.

About Emily

Emily's mother died when she was 2 & half from cancer and she is raised by her dad, Thomas and her dad’s ex-wife, Narkis who was murdered on the 7th oct. Emily was staying for a sleepover at a friend’s home, and was considered to have been murdered in the attack on Kibbutz Be’eri. Weeks after October 7th it was concluded that she was likely kidnapped and the 25th November came her anticipated release.

Now, more than ever, Emily needs our unwavering support. Every donation, regardless of its size, is a step towards showing them that they are not alone, that we empathise with her pain, and stand firm with her in her fight to rebuild her life. Let's embrace them with a community of support that resonates with love, hope, and resilience.

Thank you for any help and support.
