“We embrace victims of hostile actions following the traumatic event they have experienced. The team gets to know each victim closely, supports and assists in the rehabilitation process which resembles a roller coaster. We join the ride, experience the ups and downs, the difficulties and the moments of light, and embrace them.”
Ayelet Nahmias-Verbin,
Chairwoman, Fund for Victims of Terror
