The air was thick with smoke and fear. As terrorists struck their city, Elisha Shafer and his family dodged through the screams and sirens and narrowly escaped. It was a scene of sheer panic and horror on October 7th, a memory that will hauntingly linger in Elisha’s mind…

But the terror of that night was only the beginning. 

Days after the attack, Elisha’s persistent and unexplained symptoms led to a harrowing revelation: he was suffering from a serious, previously undetected and life-threatening medical condition, brought to the forefront by the stress of his family’s traumatic escape.

Now, in the relative safety away from the terror-stricken city, the Shafers confront a different battle: Raising funds for Elisha’s treatment and keeping afloat financially at home, a daunting prospect for a family already stretched thin by the recent upheaval. Please help Elisha and his family during this critical time here. They have been through so much, and support right now is badly needed.
