Over 6 million shekels have been raised by 23,786 donors for the Samaria community of Havat Gilad, approximately 24 hours after a wildfire destroyed homes in the area, according to the fundraising campaign organizers.
The crowdfunding campaign for Havat Gilad, a Jewish community in Samaria, has raised over 6 million shekels from 23,786 donors within about 24 hours of a wildfire that swept through the area, destroying several homes. The Zioneer had earlier reported that 2.25 million shekels were raised in the first few hours. The fire devastated homes, including that of Yael Shevach, whose husband was murdered in a 2018 terror attack, and Yishai, a Givati reservist, and his pregnant wife Tsofia, who lost their home and jewelry business. The campaign continues as the community works to rebuild.
