Dudi is only two years old. At an age when children should be taking their first steps in exploring the world, learning new words, and discovering the joy of play, Dudi is fighting for his life against leukemia.
A Parent's Worst Nightmare
"I'm writing these words with tears in my eyes", says Dudi's father. Instead of watching his son play with toys or chase after butterflies, he spends his days in hospital corridors, watching his little boy connected to machines, fighting for every breath.
Dudi needs life-saving surgery that costs $200,000. So far, 2,443 caring people have donated $81,199 - but time is running out.

The diagnosis came like lightning from a clear sky. Leukemia - a word that changed everything. Suddenly, their home filled with the sounds of a happy toddler became quiet. Hospital rooms became their second home. The smell of medication replaced the scent of home-cooked meals.
The Medical Reality
Dudi needs a series of complex surgeries to save his life. The first surgery is particularly complicated and expensive - but it's his lifeline. Without these medical interventions, this sweet two-year-old might not get the chance to grow up, to celebrate his third birthday, or to experience the simple joys every child deserves.
The medical team is ready. The expertise exists. The only thing standing between Dudi and his chance at life is the enormous cost of treatment.
The Financial Reality
The medical expenses are staggering. The life-saving surgery costs tens of thousands of dollars, with additional treatments and ongoing care pushing the total to $200,000. This sum represents every penny the family can possibly gather - and still falls far short of what's needed.
Dudi's parents have already spent their life savings, emptied their retirement accounts, and borrowed from every relative who could help. They've sold their car, jewelry, and anything of value. But leukemia doesn't negotiate, and neither do medical bills.
His mother sits by his bedside, holding his tiny hand, whispering words of encouragement while wondering how they'll pay for tomorrow's treatment. His father works multiple jobs while spending every free moment at the hospital, watching their savings disappear as quickly as the hope in Dudi's eyes. They're doing everything humanly possible - but they can't do it alone.
Hope Through Community
So far, 2,443 people have refused to let a two-year-old fight alone, raising $81,199 toward the crucial $200,000 needed. That means we're 40% of the way there - but time is running out, and every day of delay puts Dudi at greater risk.
Each donation represents someone who decided that no family should face bankruptcy to save their child's life. Each contribution proves that when good people unite, impossible medical bills become possible miracles.
"Your donation is our lifeline - you can't imagine how much it means", Dudi's father says. "I wish that you'll never be in this place."
A Chance at Childhood
What hangs in the balance isn't just Dudi's survival - it's his chance at a real childhood. The opportunity to take those first wobbly steps, to say "mama" and "papa" clearly, to play in the park, to start school, to have friends, to dream about what he wants to be when he grows up.
These aren't luxuries - they're the basic rights of every child.
We need $118,801 more to reach the $200,000 that will fund Dudi's surgery and ongoing treatment. This might seem like an enormous sum, but it breaks down to less than $50 per person if just 2,500 more people join this fight.
The campaign is organized through Lemaan Achenu, a registered tax-deductible charity, ensuring that every dollar goes directly toward Dudi's medical care - not administrative costs, not fundraising expenses, but straight to the hospital bills that stand between Dudi and his chance at life.
