Today we work with over 8,000 women and children who lost their loved ones in the Israeli security forces making the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives for our country. We provide that backbone of support that a father or husband generally provides to his family and we make a world of difference in the widows’ and orphans’ lives. Although it is impossible to fill the void of a lost spouse or parent, IDFWO works tirelessly to be the helping hand of warmth and love that these families are now missing.
