Avigail, married to wounded soldier Gilad, issued a personal appeal for donations to the 'Oz LeGibor' rehabilitation center in Judea and Samaria, describing her husband's invisible psychological wounds after the war, and urging monthly contributions to help other wounded soldiers from the area.
Avigail, wife of wounded soldier Gilad, posted a personal video appeal Monday evening describing the impact of her husband's psychological wounds on their family. She noted that although Gilad's physical injuries are healing, invisible trauma has changed their family dynamics, communication with their children, and his ability to be around people. She credited the 'Oz LeGibor' (Strength for a Hero) center in Judea and Samaria with helping restore his sense of belonging and strength.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, Gilad's rehabilitation home in Ariel now regularly hosts 180 wounded troops and faces high monthly operating costs. Avigail's appeal reinforces previous calls for donations, urging supporters to establish monthly contributions to sustain the facility.
The center serves wounded soldiers from Judea and Samaria who otherwise would have to travel to central or northern Israel for support. No further details on the center's expansion plans were provided in the message.
