Emma & Ivri's way for independence

Donors: 55

Gil Joshua Dreyfus is a widowed father of 4 children, all aged 4. Two of the four, Emma and Ivri, were diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy shortly after birth. Now, for the past two plus years, Gil is raising his children on his own. The medical care and developmental support of Emma and Ivri are a heavy expense, and their medications, supplements, and treatments are vital to their health. In the hopes to boost Emma and Ivri's upcoming developmental transitions into elementary school, Emma recently underwent SDR surgery - Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy surgery - which requires an intense rehabilitation process, including a home nurse, rehabilitation therapies and treatments for them both. Ivri will undergo the same surgery in the near future. "How does Gil do it?" you may ask. Gil currently receives minimal help from the government and family. By combining his expertise as a renowned designer and personal experience as a father to consult and lead groundbreaking programs that improve the care and quality of life for those with special needs has dedicated his life to bringing awareness to CP and bridging the gap between people labeled with "special needs" and everyone else. Yet while Gil is an expert in his field, the care of his family has forced his livelihood to take a backseat and he has been unable to work consistently for over two years now. Gil has been surviving as a single father by the grace of friends and family who have loaned him money to cover basic expenses, but of course, it is a difficult to raise a family, provide the bare necessities and on top of that provide quality rehabilitation for Emma and Ivri all on his own. Now he and his family need your support to keep pushing forward.
