Give a special gift to the Israel Dog Unit for Hanukah
Best Chanukah Gift You Could Give – please
forward
CHANUKAH GIFT OF LIFE FOR MANY, MANY JEWS IN
ISRAEL
What can be a better gift – than security and
rescue of Jewish lives in Israel?
The Israel Dog Unit (I.D.U) is appealing to all
friends of Israel in this urgent Chanukah appeal.
We need your help to continue our vital work -
to save lives in Israel with the use of specially trained defense-dogs, as well
as Search and Rescue dogs.
There is no
unit out there providing our unique life-saving services. Whether it is
defending Jewish towns against Arab terrorist attacks or searching for missing
people in Israel with service dogs.
The
following sponsorships are immediately needed: You can sponsor all or part of
any of the emergency items that are so desperately needed now. Any and every
donation is needed and appreciated, whether it is 5 dollars or 50,000 dollars.
We will put it to immediate and good use!
Thermal
camera – 9000 dollars
We have
ordered a high-quality thermal camera that could attach to our existing drone,
which will enable us to seek and find terrorists before they sneak into Jewish
towns, as well as to aid in finding missing people. The camera will be
especially useful at night. The special camera is on its way, we are short 9000
dollars to complete payment for the special camera. We have already paid 6000
dollars and only need an additional 9000 dollars to complete payment upon
receipt of the camera. This camera will be helpful all day but will vastly
improve our night-vision and ability to search in the darkness. It can be the
difference of life or death for many Jews in Israel!
We own the
drone. We use the drone in daytime searching. We already paid for part of the
Thermal camera addition. 9000 dollars will enable us to complete payment for
the thermal camera addition, (see attached photo).
Repair
of 4X4 Rescue-Response Jeep- 7000 dollars
We own the
Ford Explorer. It is just waiting for some repairs and registration to get it
back on the road. The 4X4 jeep enables us to transport dogs and handlers
off-road quickly and effectively. To buy a vehicle would cost double or triple
that amount, (see attached photo).
Funds
owed to vet, dog food supplier and dog trainers – 15000 dollars
To properly
maintain and train service dogs to the high standards that is necessary, costs
money. Dogs need to be fed. Sick or injured dogs need to be cared for.
World-class trainers need to be paid, etc. At the very least, we need funds to
cover flight and other expenses of good trainers who are prepared to offer free
seminars in Israel. Thank G-d our vet, suppliers and trainers are patient with
us. But we must bring outstanding bills up to date.
Winterize
Kennels and doggy obstacle course for agility and exercise – 10000 dollars
Stipends
and grants to our cadets –we owe out 8000 dollars
Thank G-d
we have wonderful volunteers, who dedicate many hours weekly to rescue-work
with our unit, before and after their military service. We are not in a
position to pay them a salary however we do offer them courses and give them
student grants that help sustain them and cover their student living needs.
Funds
for a used but reliable emergency transport vehicle for dogs and dog-handlers –
18000 dollars
It is not
an option to break-down on the way to an emergency response. Our old and
unreliable vehicles must be replaced. Besides, in the long run, we will save
money not having to repair vehicles constantly.
Funds to
complete the construction of our dormitory and dining hall in Tapuach Kennel
compound – 35000 dollars
Why should
we pay thousands of shekels monthly rent, if we can own our own facilities?
35000 dollars will be enough to build a simple structure that can house dining
hall and dorm facility for 30 volunteers, including the plumbing and electrical
infrastructure. The investment is equal
to 3-4 years of rent, and the facility is ours, G-d willing for many years to
come.
Additional
security and breeding service dogs – 30000 dollars
We need to
add another 4 breeding and security dogs to our canine arsenal. This will
enable us to continue to breed high quality dogs as well as to dispatch
security dogs to those who truly need them to secure their villages. 7-8
litters will more than cover the investment.
Please help
us continue our life-saving services, please give the gift of life to so many
Jews in Israel - who count on us at the Israel Dog Unit (I.D.U.)
to answer their emergency calls, whether it is a security chief in a town in
Judea and Samaria who is relying upon us for a security dog or to respond to a
terrorist invasion, or a family of a missing person. In many cases a dog is the
only tool that can be used to seek and find a terrorist who broke through a
security fence and who is about to carry out a massacre of a Jewish family.
The many
millions spent on detection devices and fancy security fences will not help
locate the terrorists before they have passed through the fence or after they
have already penetrated into the yishuv. Millions have been spent on the fences
and other technologies, now mere thousands are needed to complement the
existing security infrastructure, and to prevent the terrorist from carrying
out a massacre. Checks can
be sent to Michllelet Magen Eretz Yisrael – POBix 2002, Jerusalem, Israel. Tax
deductible Credit Card donation can be made through the following link:
