A classroom of 10 year old’s in the Givat Zeev neighborhood of Jerusalem has been missing a student, who was forced to cancel studies after a shocking brain cancer diagnosis. Yoel’s story went live when his mother shared the shocking obstacles putting his life at risk.
Yoel has confidently told friends and family that he’s going for treatment until he's better. However, despite his charming smile and sincere expression, Yoel has no idea that his treatment is at risk.
The backstory is his parent's divorce 3 years earlier, with no subsequent support or contact from his father. In a shocking statement, his mother Odel shared, “It’s been one and a half years of pure overwhelm managing Yoel’s medical care alone, but despite all the effort I put in, I can’t keep my son alive anymore.”
As a freelance graphic designer, her income is now down to zero, leaving her with no way to pay for Yoel’s treatment. Odel is begging the public to help, “Yoel has no idea that his treatment is on the line, and it would break my heart to have to tell him. Please help me keep him alive!”
A campaign is running, and over $100,000 is urgently needed to fund further treatment. Public reaction was strong with many moved by Yoel’s innocent smile and tragic story. To help Yoel, and read his mother's message, visit the campaign page to donate.
