"This award is not mine alone. It belongs to all the thousands of volunteers who came every day, under all weather conditions, with or without alarms to lend a hand at the HML we opened.
This award belongs to those who helped us reach every corner of the country, from Metula to Eilat, to all the companies, food chains, businessmen and individuals, drivers and many volunteers who joined us.

"When the war broke out I decided that I had to contribute, to do something significant like many others so I called my charity partner Noam Nazri and together we opened the HML in my grandfather's yard, hoping to help and support in any possible way," he wrote. "In the beginning, we were just a few people Lonely and we didn't really know where to start, but when you do good, things just happen.
People just got involved and started arriving and with them also the donations and the accuracy of the needs and tasks.
We have made the HML a center of non-stop activity for soldiers, evacuees, the homeless, transportation, and more.
"The HML, which opened on October 8, has become a place where everyone can contribute, help, be part of something bigger. Every volunteer, every contribution , every initiative - everything helped to bring light and hope in
this difficult and challenging period. Later we recognized a real need that came from the field of soldiers who go home after long days for a short time and really have a hard time getting home, so I got in touch with Mark On, my friend, the CEO of Get Taksi, and together with him we The mercy of the taxis that with the help of huge donors and with your help we were able to last for many weeks and bring thousands of soldiers to their doorsteps in every point in the country.
