OFEK - BACK TO LIFE ORGANIZATION

The organization Ofek "Back to Life" was established in 2013 by parents of "Special kids", volunteers, and professionals. Led by Reute and Amiad Taob, Ofeks' parents, who got seriously injured when he was 8 month old. Ofeks' parents and siblings stayed in the hospital for about a year, accompanying Ofek and facing the problems sick people and their families go through. After this, the whole families life changed in many ways, so the parents decided to help other families with a sick or injured child, since now they knew: those families are not only facing the disease, but are also facing the emotional, economic and bureaucratic distress, and not any less important, the feeling of – helplessness. Every family that encountered a medical crisis has felt that, and wishes to get out of it into a new productive way of life while dealing with the disease. The organization "Ofek back to life" has taken the responsability of helping families and giving them a way out. Helping them continue their lives in the best way possible, leaving behind what they have been through.
