Our Impact in Motion
Have you ever wondered what some of these supplies look like?
"Shlookarim" are hydration backpacks.
What goes into a fully-equipped medical backpack?
If you watch carefully in Yael's video you'll catch a
glimpse of the all-exciting Antifungal-powder! :)
Yael and her volunteer assistant have taken over a room in Yael's house to receive, organize and re-pack the supplies you have donated.
Dust glasses, hand & foot warmers, earplugs, tactical gloves, walkie-talkies, watches, socks, tourniquets, masks and more - you can see it all in the video.
Note that these items come in and go out again usually within ONE WEEK! These supplies are NEEDED and we are shipping them out as fast as they are received.
Thank you to all the Terri's Angels!!!
Also explore a small collection of all the videos we have received showing our direct impact on IDF soldiers and the community. From care packages to community events, see how "Together We Stand".
Medical Request
Terri's Angels Co-Founder Yael Levy spoke with an IDF major who serves in the Syria-Lebanon sector. He oversees the combat medics in northern Israel. He approached Yael to ask for help from Terri's Angels to purchase a Butterfly IQ3 - a handheld ultrasound device.
The Butterfly ultrasound, which is small enough to fit in a pocket, enables medics to identify quickly internal bleeding, collapsed lungs, fractures, and other life-threatening injuries on the battlefield - CRITICAL information that cannot be detected by the human-eye alone. Those precious minutes can mean the difference between life and death.
The major shared that he thought 5 soldiers who died in the past month might have survived had their medics been equipped with this technology. If this device can save even one life it is vital to get it into the medics.
The Israeli soldiers tell us what they need. We hope you will help us provide.
Donate via the SYJCC to the Terri's Angels Initiative. Scroll down and select "Dedicate this gift" and
specify "Butterfly Ultrasound" in the Honorarium field.
Please email us to let us know you have contributed to this major effort. Thank you!
Did Someone Say "Drone"?
Another unit needs an Air 3 drone with extra batteries. These drones are purchased IN ISRAEL. This means not only are we supporting the economy but we can get a funded drone to the unit requesting as soon as it's funded.
Perhaps you wonder why there are so many requests for drones. Just a few short weeks ago we heard from a unit. Their drone was destroyed by "protecting" them - exactly why drones are used. Their words:
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!
Tax-deductible donations can be made here through Lev Echad/Chesed Fund — Team Terri’s Angels
Please write “DONOR MATCH – AIR 3 DRONE” with your donation and email your donation confirmation to: terris.angels.israel@gmail.com
Extreme Heat Grips Israel
Meteorological Service issues red alert for Jordan Valley and Dead Sea regions as temperatures remain well above seasonal norms
We heard from the units that they are becoming drained from the heat, given all their equipment and activities. Terri's Angels purchased FOUR portable air conditioning units to distribute.
Here's a text sent to Yael:
Terri's Angels,
We are × soldiers in tiny cube guard posts all around the old city. Last night, one of our commanders from the past brought us an unbelievable donation from Terri’s Angels; *mobile air-conditioners*!!!
We actually cried ( I guess we are not so tough!!) We read the *beautiful notes of love attached and cried*. It means so much to us that people on the other side of the world appreciate us, care for us and what we are doing for the country it is over 104° in this closed, bullet proof cubic, and the donation we received was a DREAM THAT CAME TRUE
Why Do We Keep Sending Watches???
"So more than once, I was asked why requesting watches for my unit is not luxury and pampering... so let me explain some facts:
• The war has not ended( for those who still believe we are at ceasefire )
• Every single day we look and find new tunnels... up north and down south. That's a big part of our missions
• Sometimes we are in a tunnel for days without our cellphones, and have no idea what time it is, that’s why watches are needed. Simple watches for just a few dollars.
We received this text from a commander, along with a picture of some (150 unpacked so far) of the hundreds of watches that were sent from the Chesed Center in the 5 Towns. (New York):
Yes, g-shocks are better quality, last longer and more reliable if they fall, get sand in them, or water.. but any simple watch will do. Thank you.
Request Update from the Dog Unit - Scooters!
The Israel Dog Unit (IDU) is a civilian nonprofit based in Samaria that operates across Israel with trained dogs, drones and volunteer search teams for search-and-rescue and community security. The IDU often works alongside the IDF, Israel Police and other emergency services, responding to rescue and security incidents 24/7.
Terri's Angels responded - of course! - and that drone was funded in only hours, with the help of the matching funds from our anonymous donor. It was funded SO FAST that the request went out on August 3 and the drone was delivered on August 4.
You Angels really surprised the IDU!
Their dogs search the land. Their drones search the sky. They came back and asked: Could we help them get the ability to search underwater? We DID! Now:
Can we help them get 3 electric scooters??
If you donate specifically toward the Israel Dog Unit through our partner Lev Echad, you can request a personalized thank-you video from the unit. You can also make your donation in honor of or in memory of someone special, who can be mentioned in the video. Any amount helps—and in August, every donation has DOUBLE the impact, thanks to our generous anonymous donor!!

Video: Explanation of what the IDU does and thank you to the individual donors for supplying the drone.
The IDU asked Terri’s Angels to help provide an underwater search-and-rescue drone with a robotic claw, currently costing $1,519. This specialized drone will give the IDU another lifesaving search tool, allowing volunteers to search beneath the surface in areas that may be difficult or dangerous for divers to access.
Thank you to all our incredible Terri’s Angels donors for continuing to show the Israel Dog Unit how much we appreciate and support their lifesaving work!!
Watch the short slideshow Shlomo prepared to see why the Israel Dog Unit is asking for 3 electric scooters — and how they will help their volunteers respond and get where they are needed more efficiently.
The underwater drone for the Israel Dog Unit was FULLY FUNDED- in under 3 hours!!! By the ANGELS and matching funds from our anonymous donor!!!!
Each electric scooter set includes the scooter, a helmet, and a phone mount.
Dogs on the ground.
Drones in the sky.
Drones underwater, too.
and now
Dogs on scooters!!!

Since June hundreds of items from our Amazon list have traveled to Israel in suitcases with passengers. More than $20,000 worth of supplies and equipment have been purchased directly in Israel for quick delivery to units. Thank you to all our donors, sponsors, volunteers, & passengers for being part of TEAM TERRI’S ANGELS!
Every dollar donated during August will be matched dollar-for-dollar until the full $50,000 match is reached.
Many requested items have also been purchased directly from our supplier in Israel for faster delivery and to support the Israeli economy.
In fact, Terri's Angels has purchased over $15,000 worth of requested supplies from our supplier in Israel during June and July alone.
But when we send Amazon items, we're sending more than supplies—we're sending love and support. Every Amazon gift can include a personal message to a soldier, and our volunteers pack those gifts into our signature Terri's Angels care bags, reminding our soldiers that they are not alone.
Terri's Angels Amazon List
Please select the SYJCC shipping address. Thank you!
Copy and Paste your message onto all the notes. Amazon won't let you do a copy from one note to another but if you write your message outside of Amazon you can then copy and paste it into each individual item so the soldier who gets your gift also gets your personal message!
Another way you can help…
We're looking for donations of large wheeled suitcases in good condition. So many suitcases have already been sent to Israel filled with Terri's Angels donations that now we need more suitcases for upcoming trips!!
If you're local and have a suitcase you'd be willing to donate, please send us a message!
If you're RETURNING from Israel to JFK airport and can bring back EMPTY suitcases - that's a big help too!
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.
Thank you to every volunteer carrying a suitcase and every donor helping us fill them. Together, we're sending exactly what commanders have requested—along with love, encouragement, and the reminder that Israel's heroes are never alone.
Using the funds donated to Terri's Angel we have purchased all of the following in July 2026
Following our hugely successful Savor & Support fundraiser in June, it was an incredibly busy and exciting July for Terri’s Angels!
Here are just a few of the highlights:
Our $25,000 mobile drone & communications command center is fully funded, and work to customize the trailer has already begun!
Hundreds of urgently needed items have been purchased from our Amazon gift list and sent to Israel in 20 suitcases with passengers!
More than $20,000 worth of supplies and equipment have been purchased in Israel and quickly delivered to the soldiers who requested them.
6 drones have been funded and delivered!
$7,000 was raised for lifesaving medical equipment, including a Butterfly ultrasound.
Here is how YOU responded to this July 9th's request:
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.
As always you answered the call immediately, sending dozens of packages filled with the requested items.
Just as importantly - you took the time to write messages to the chayalim (soldiers) so that besides the physical need, you supplied the emotional support that is so critical to them.
🇮🇱. Urgent request for items on our Amazon list!! That's the call that went out on THURSDAY July 2, 2026!
Rabbi Tracy Kaplowitz was leading a “Volunteer Israel for Reform Jews” Birthright group leaving on MONDAY July 6, 2026. If we could order from our Amazon Registry for delivery by Sunday, we could send the items with the Birthright participants who would take extra suitcases.
The request was published in WhatsApp and Facebook with the link to our Amazon Registry, with the “Most Needed” items listed at the top of the list with the quantities currently requested.
Within 10 MINUTES the first order was placed!! By Sunday over 50 orders had been received, many containing multiple items. Our volunteers packed the suitcases and we have 2 more volunteers bringing the suitcases to the participants at the airport. Imagine our delight when we found more Birthright volunteers leaving on Wednesday! :) Late-arriving gifts made it on THAT flight!
Terri's Angels ROCK!!!

For almost 3 years, one of the items IDF commanders have requested more than almost anything else has been multitools (often called "Leathermans"). Soldiers use these multitools every day for countless tasks, and many have told us they have even saved lives.
Since October 7, we've sent thousands of these WETOLS multitools. They are extremely well made and cost significantly less than comparable multitools available in Israel. For months, we've been checking Amazon, and they've consistently been priced at $25 or more—which was still an excellent value compared to comparable multitools in Israel.
We have no idea how long this sale will last. Amazon sales often end without warning, so if you've been thinking about helping, now is a great time.
Every multitool purchased helps equip another soldier with a tool they may rely on every single day. Thank you for helping us get these urgently needed items into the hands of Israel's heroes.
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.
Copy and Paste your message onto all the notes. Amazon won't let you do a copy from one note to another but if you write your message outside of Amazon you can then copy and paste it into each individual item so the soldier who gets your gift also gets your personal message!
STILL ON SALE until July 27!!! Terri's Angels are rocking this request!!! You Angels are WONDERFUL!!!! 67 purchased to date!! Can we make that an even number???
