b'Humans Helping Animals Help Humans in IsraelAvshalomBenistartedaprogramthatwecallHumansHelpingAnimalsHelpHumans (HHAHH) where animals help humans deal with problems they are having trouble coping with. The human and the animal therapists work with parents and teachers and social workers. Together they help children whose families have been torn apart by traumatic divorce and separation, and/or who may be suffering life threatening bullying in schools and/or who may suffer from PTSD or untreated AD(H)D or have siblings with schizophrenia, severe autism, cancer andotherchronicdevelopmentaldisorders.ThroughtheirspecialAAI(Animal Assisted Intervention) programs, these children and their families find and receive the love and support they so desperately need.In the past HOT has funded (i) the costs of camp for some of the kids he helps; (ii) food for theanimalsandveterinarycare,(iii)acriticalParentChildTherapyGroupthathelped families in the south deal with the trauma of the thousands of missiles unleashed by Hamas in the south of Israel in November of 2012. In the aftermath of the 2014 Hamas War, we funded (iv) two PTSD programs in the south. We have funded (v) a Challenge Grant that was matched for a program helping parents and children dealing with cancer, (vi) a program helping parents and siblings of autisticchildren, (vii) a Challenge Grant that Avshalom found another donor to meet for a special needs program for children age 3-5 in Beer Sheva, and (viii) an innovative program mixing bullies and the children they bully. During the 2014 Gaza War, children in the south (young and old) were screaming as they heard siren after siren and explosion after explosion. Avshalom, who thinks more of the well- being of who he helps then his own safety, drove to Ashkelon with a helper and a bunch of dogs and cats (his therapists) and did not leave until a bunch of kids were smiling and laughing. In 2019 the war isstillNOToverformanyofthechildrenwholived through all the shelling. The four legged therapist in the picture to the left died more than 3 years ago, but not before he made this frightened (from the shrill of sirens) little girl feel protected. We have other pictures, but this picture best explains Avshaloms work.Since there can be no programs without these animal co-therapists, many of our donors have made designations to help feed them and pay their vet bills.Wewouldlikeourdonorstoconsidersupportingallorpartofadditionalprograms Avshalom would like to start or continue that will help parents and kids through the terriblepainoftraumaticdivorce, PTSD,cancer,autismand sadisticbullying.While writing this vignette HOT wired funding for another Bullying Program.Each program currently costs $9,579.
