When we needed them — they went to fight for us

Now they need us — to find their way back to life.

Over 10,000 combat soldiers are officially recognized as suffering from psychological trauma.

Another 20,000 carry invisible wounds in silence.

The battle may be over — but the bleeding never stopped.

.But the state isn’t doing enough

Only through private initiatives and the generosity of people like you — can we help bring back the sanity that was taken from them.

Meet Lt. Col. (Res.) Eran Massas

a warrior, lifesaver, and messenger of hope

On October 7th, as a national tragedy unfolded, Eran acted without hesitation. He grabbed a pistol, got into his vehicle, and drove south alone — without orders.

He fought terrorists, evacuated survivors under fire, and was the first to document the horrors of the Nova party massacre, repeatedly asking, “Is anyone alive here?”

His chilling videos were shown at the United Nations.

Though deeply wounded himself, Eran turned his pain into purpose, founding a project to bring hope, strength, and healing to soldiers whose souls remain on that battlefield.

Since then, Eran has become an international advocate — speaking, testifying, and sharing this story to ensure the world never forgets.

Above all, today he fights for those wounded on the inside.

Eran's Global Impact

Eran’s story has reached audiences worldwide, raising awareness and support for October 7th survivors. He has spoken at:

The White House, Washington D.C

Jewish communities in Las Vegas, Sweden, Australia, Denmark, and Finland

The Simon Wiesenthal Center in Chicago

The Chabad House opening in Norway

Advocacy events in New York and the Faroe Islands

Join us in spreading Eran’s message and supporting those who need it most.

Initiated by Lt. Col. (Res.) Eran Massas, in collaboration with Reuven Schwartz and other partners, this initiative was founded for reserve soldiers who returned from battle with their bodies intact — but their souls wounded.

A Resilience and Empowerment Retreat for Warriors

Three intensive days of deep healing for body and mind,

offering warriors a rare opportunity to pause, breathe, and reconnect with themselves — a breath of fresh air and the beginning of a new path.

During the retreat, warriors undergo a unique multidisciplinary experience:

Ice baths and advanced breathing techniques to strengthen the nervous system and release tension,

workshops and free movement that bring joy back into the body,

creative crafts that heal the soul through the hands,

and powerful sound healing that restores inner calm and connects to deep peace.

This is a safe, supportive, and nurturing space — where warriors can, for the first time in a long while, lay down their armor and truly begin to live again.

Voices of Those Who Participated

"I came back — but part of me stayed there."

I’m called a hero, that’s what they tell me. I saved lives.
But mine — I lost. Not in blood. In soul.
I come home, smile, talk, function —
but part of me remains there, on the battlefield.
At night I’m back again:
instead of sleep — nightmares.
Instead of silence — explosions inside my head that never stop.
Inside, I fight every night all over again, alone.

We are not strangers to you — we are your brothers.

We are the ones who returned with empty eyes and broken hearts.

All we need now is an outstretched hand.

A little hope.

Maybe then we can find our way back to life.

After risking their lives for us, these warriors now need your support — to heal their souls and return to their lives and families.

Your generous donation makes a real difference — helping heroes find hope and healing.

Not all of them came back whole. But they can come back to life — thanks to you.

.They fought for all of us

Today, they’re fighting for themselves — for souls in need of healing.

With your help, we can give them a moment of peace, a breath, and a chance to start anew.
