Standing Together, an Israeli charity, is working towards making Israeli soldiers more comfortable.  Right now, soldiers have no pillows at all and after giving out about 400 pillows, we have seen what an incredible response the soldiers have had. The pillows roll up and store into a compact bag that easily fits in their backpack and work not just as sleeping pillows but also as a back support and seating cushion.  The pillows can also be folded and used to soften the pressure on their shoulders when they carry heavy loads. 

Showing the Israeli soldiers our appreciation and empathy is our most important concern. This especially resonates after Yom Hazikaron (The Day of Remembrance) and Yom Ha’atzmaot (Independence Day), which are two highly important days in Israeli and Jewish culture throughout the world. Therefore, in order to truly remember our fallen soldiers and celebrate the ones still with us, we are trying to give back to the soldiers.

In total there about 156,000 active soldiers and 50,000 new soldiers enter each year. We want to give back to these soldiers and show them our support. Therefore, we are starting a campaign, “A pillow for a soldier”! Our goal is 37,500 pillows ($750,000=37,500) in 30 days! With this campaign, we are also having a raffle.

For each donation of $100 or $10/month you will be entered into a raffle:          

Grand Prize: Trip to Israel for 2! 

5 - 1st Prizes: 2 Free Travel Pillows 

10 - 2nd Prizes: 1 Free Travel Pillow

$5,000 or $400/month: Invited to give pillows to 200 soldiers 

$25,000 or $4000/month: VIP Day Tour - including: giving pillows to soldiers and meeting higher level army officials 

*The Grand Prize will be offered if we reach at least 1/3 of our goal.

The “Pillow for a Soldier” campaign is important because not only do the pillows provide physical support, they are a reminder that others all around the world care and appreciate them.
