SafeHeart is a non-profit organisation created in the immediate aftermath of the Nova festival massacre and dedicated to supporting its survivors.
More than one in 10 of the revellers of the Nova Festival (attended by 3,600) were murdered on 7th October. 40 others were captured and taken to Gaza where tragically some have since been brutally murdered.
Those who did survive recount being hunted down for hours in the wilderness, shot at with live guns and rocket-propelled grenade launchers, and watching helplessly as those caught were killed at point blank, dragged away as hostages or raped.
These (mostly young) survivors need specialised care from trauma experts to help prevent the long-term debilitating impact of post-traumatic-stress-disorder.
SafeHeart’s mission is to connect survivors with licensed and certified mental health professionals and offer retreats to assist in their long road to recovery.
SafeHeart is a lifeline to so many of the brave young Israelis whose lives changed forever on that fateful day.
On October 20th, JNF UK will host Dance for Israel – a unique Zumba event taking place in London and Tel Aviv (in person), connecting both cities through livestreaming. This powerful event will honour the survivors of the Nova Festival, embodying their resilience and determination to rise above tragedy. Learn and book your place by clicking here. Donations from the event will go directly to SafeHeart.
Whether you’re joining our event or not, please donate today to give these young survivors a future without the shadow of trauma.
