Branch Program
Healing Palestine
One Life at a Time
Tuesday, November 11 at 7 pm
Virtual via Zoom
Learn one family’s story of helping a child from Palestine through HEAL Palestine. HEAL Palestine is a non-political nonprofit organization founded in January 2024, in response to the unimaginable devastation in Gaza, where thousands of lives were lost in a short period, impacting generations for decades to come. Through its core pillars – Health, Education, Aid, and Leadership – HEAL Palestine aims not only to meet the basic needs of Palestinian children, but to empower them to meet their full potential. Through this program, to date, 63 children have been evacuated from Gaza for surgeries, prosthetics, and rehabilitative care in the U.S.
At our meeting on Tuesday, November 11 at 7 pm via Zoom we will hear the amazing journey of one Palestinian child saved by the Gormans. Please join us as we welcome Miriam Gorman to tell her experience with saving Walid.
