Maya underwent emergency surgery at Jerusalem’s “Shaare Zedek” hospital, and thankfully survived the attack. Following her surgery, however, she endured difficult months of physical and psychological therapy.

Immediately responding to Maya’s plight, the Jewish Agency’s Fund for the Victims of Terror awarded her an emergency grant to pay for her medical expenses.

The timing of this assistance was critical, before Maya received any government support.

Today, Maya bravely perseveres. She’s a media and communications student, and trains in the gym every day.

The Jewish Agency’s Fund for the victims of Terror continues to sponsor Maya’s therapy, as well as her professional training, and needed expenditures such as a laptop.

The fund’s continuous aid and support to Maya and her family, and many more terror victims like her, is made possible by the generous giving of friends from around the world.

Last year alone, the Fund distributed $425,000 of aid funds to 191 families affected by terror.

By donating to the Jewish Agency’s programs, you will be providing support to the families who need it the most.
