Trauma Relief Project

Healing Through Connection

Following the tragic events of October 7th, so many of us in Boulder reached out to our sister city in Ramat HaNegev, asking how our community could provide immediate, meaningful aid.

In close coordination with Hadass Nissan at the Ramat HaNegev Regional Council, we partnered with Kibbutz Tlalim to support their “animal corner” therapy program. This therapeutic haven provides animal-assisted emotional care, comfort, and trauma relief to displaced families and children navigating severe disruption.

With your generous support, the community completed construction of the shading pergola, therapeutic access bridge, and the installation of new planters and greenery.

Regional Message “A Heartfelt Thanks From Our Entire Community”

“We want to express our heartfelt thanks to you and your entire community for your significant contribution to the petting zoo and animal therapy corner at Kibbutz Tlalim!

Over the past few weeks, we completed the construction of the shading pergola, the bridge, and the installation of new planters and greenery. This was a collaborative effort involving children, residents, and evacuees, turning it into a true celebration.

Your donation has had a profound impact on the daily lives of our families, and we are incredibly grateful for your help in transforming the petting zoo into a pleasant, healing community space for all of us!”

— Hadass Nissan, Ramat HaNegev Regional Council
