The Danielle Fund for Hope

Elah hosts a support fund that aims to subsidize psychological treatment for young adults between the ages of 16 and 25. The initiative is committed to the prevention of suicidal behavior, for young people who are hurting inside, who are overtaken by fear and uncertainty, by negative thoughts, anger or despair. The treatment can help them face their hardships, look for solutions, regain the will to live, and build lives worth living. The Danielle Fund for Hope was initiated by Michal Marcus, who lost her daughter Danielle. Michal established the initiative to help young people in mental distress and to give them hope. About her personal experience Michal told Elah: “With the help and support that I received from Elah, I managed to choose to go on and live a full life despite the periods of deep pain and sadness. That's why, in memory of my Danielle, I founded the 'Danielle Fund for Hope'. The fund aims to subsidize counselling for adolescents who are in need of for support. Young people sometimes suffer in silence. We need to be aware and offer them the chance to find hope."
