A Drone Was Destroyed… But It Saved 13 Soldiers!
YOU FUNDED THE REPLACEMENT DRONE IN UNDER 60 MINUTES!!!!! ANGELS YOU ARE LIFE SAVERS!!!
DRONES
SAVE
LIVES!
A few days ago, Yael received this incredible message from one of the IDF commanders of a unit Terri's Angels supports:
A GREAT MIRACLE happened today. Terri's Angels had purchased a drone for our unit at our request. We didn't need one of the most expensive models, but it needed a special capability to fly into buildings, tunnels, and through windows and doors.
One of Terri's Angels delivered it a few weeks ago, and we've been using it ever since.
Today, our unit was preparing to enter what appeared to be an empty building to carry out a mission. To be certain it was empty, we sent the drone inside first. Within seconds, terrorists hiding inside shot down the drone and rushed outside, trying (unsuccessfully) to find the soldiers operating it!
Because of that drone, 13 soldiers were spared from walking into an ambush. The drone gave its life so that ours could be saved. Thank you, Terri's Angels!
This is exactly why these commander-requested drones matter.
The good news is that the unit still has the controller and all the supporting equipment. They only need a replacement drone aircraft. The cost to replace this life-saving drone is just $375.
For only $375, we can put another drone back into the hands of these soldiers so they can continue carrying out missions safely and saving lives.
To make a TAX-DEDUCTIBLE donation to help replace this drone, please donate through our drone partner, Lev Echad/Chesed Fund – Team Terri's Angels
After making your donation, please email your donation confirmation to: terris.angels.israel@gmail.com.
Every dollar brings us one step closer to replacing this drone and helping protect the soldiers who protect Israel.
Thank you for standing with Israel's heroes!

Help Terri’s Angels Keep IDF Soldiers Hydrated This Summer
We have received many new requests from IDF commanders for kosher electrolyte tablets and powders to help prevent dehydration, as well as hydration backpacks and hydration bladders (shlookerim) for soldiers serving in the field.
The good news is that we have several passengers flying to Israel this month who have generously offered to bring these much-needed supplies in their luggage!
Every gift makes a difference. Even a $9 hydration bladder can help keep a soldier hydrated while serving in Israel's intense summer heat.
PLEASE include a personal gift message with your purchase. Your words of encouragement mean just as much as the supplies themselves. We aren't just sending electrolytes and hydration bladders—we're sending love, appreciation, and support to the brave men and women protecting Israel.
Please consider purchasing one or more items from our Terri's Angels Amazon Gift List
At checkout, please select the SYJCC shipping address from the gift registry.
Thank you for helping us keep our soldiers healthy, hydrated, and reminded that they are never alone. Every item you purchase is deeply appreciated.
New Raffle!
We're excited to raffle an authentic IDF tactical helmet (estimated value: $300), generously donated by Tactical Zone in Israel. Avi, one of Tactical Zone's partners, donated this helmet specifically for our "Cupcakes with Commanders" community event at the Suffolk Y Jewish Community Center in Commack.
During the event, Commander Raz wore this very helmet while filming our Terri's Angels video, “Standing with Israel's Heroes.” The helmet then became the highlight of our community photo booth, where children and families had the opportunity to try it on and take pictures and videos with Commander Raz and Commander Naftali!
After the event, Avi suggested auctioning the helmet to raise funds for IDF soldiers, and that he will donate another helmet for our event next year! Thank you, Avi!!

Mazel Tov to the 13 winners of our authentic Golani Carmeli workout shirts featuring the Terri's Angels logo!
These shirts were designed by the Golani Carmeli commanders for their unit and proudly worn by the soldiers. Now, our winners will own the same authentic shirts as the soldiers—a meaningful symbol of the special bond between the Golani Carmeli unit and the Terri's Angels family.
Richard drew the first 10 winning tickets, and as the SYJCC Current Events meeting was beginning, Anthony drew the final 3 winning tickets. Congratulations again to all of our winners!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who purchased raffle tickets in support of Commander Raz and Commander Naftali's Golani Carmeli unit. Your generosity is helping Terri's Angels assist the unit in acquiring a Mobile Drone & Communications Command Center.
Any Costco members out there??
Costco has a GREAT deal on Eddie Bauer green performance shirts! $10!!!!!
FYI…The identical shirt on Amazon is $29!
These Eddie Bauer green performance shirts are perfect for including in the care bags we give to all the soldiers when our volunteer groups sponsor BBQs on army bases in October and February! The most requested sizes are large, medium, and XL.
This might work best for Angels near Commack, NY. Otherwise you can bring them YOURSELF when you are coming to Israel!
Please leave them with the security guard at SYJCC in a bag or box clearly marked with “TERRI’S ANGELS.” Thank you!
