Join Drew in creating waves of hope across Israeli society

"I’m excited to share that for my bat mitzvah project, I’m raising donations for HaGal Sheli — Catching the Wave of Life.

HaGal Sheli is an amazing organization that offers surfing and recreational opportunities to individuals with disabilities. They provide special education, PTSD surf therapy, and support for people with physical disabilities to overcome challenges and enjoy surfing.

By supporting my bat mitzvah project, you’ll help make a real difference in the lives of these incredible individuals. HaGal Sheli empowers youth by helping them develop tools to set personal goals, build self-awareness, and gain confidence. I see this impact every day—at school, at home, and when we surf at the Jersey Shore.

This cause is very close to my heart because it reminds me of the importance of inclusion and friendship.

I’m accepting donations of any size through the link below. Please consider supporting this meaningful cause and my mitzvah project. I can’t wait to celebrate with most of you on June 14!"
