Dear Friends,
Since 9/11, you and I both know that terrorism can affect anyoneâs family, anywhere in the world, at any time. No one can say who or what will be the next target of terrorism. Young people especially are affected, wondering if the dreams of their youth will ever be fulfilled under this constant threat. For this reason, I created an organization, an adjunct to the Coalition Against Terrorism (CAT2002), to bring students from around the globe together in an effort to positively affect the lives of terror victims and their families. We want to expose the terrorists, their sponsors and supporters. In order for us to accomplish this great undertaking, I need your help. I want to show the world how young people are living in Israel despite the constant fear of terrorism. In addition to this, I want to raise monies that will further help various programs for young terror victims and their families
Now, you may be asking yourself why a young student living in Florida in the United States would want to become involved in such a serious endeavor. Sadly, the effects of terrorism are far reaching. On March 31, 2002, members of my family were dining in a local Haifa restaurant in Israel when a suicide bomber blew himself up directly behind them. My young cousin perished, while my aunt and uncle were severely injured. To this day, my uncle remains in a rehabilitation center, suffering from the effects of a serious brain injury.
Something has to be done to eliminate the threat of terrorism and to provide assistance to its young victims and their families. I urge you to join me now to allow the youth throughout the world its dreams for a better and brighter future. I look forward to hearing from you and until then, I remain
Yours in peace
