What challenges have we personally faced that we can share which will help the students now and down the road?
Kristi, interesting. Do you have an example??
Shortly after my husband and I married in 1999, we faced some of the toughest times...and times we had never imagined happening to us.  In 2002, the bank my husband worked for was bought out and his position at the bank cut even though he had been established as an excellent employee and having just been given a sales award.  Ten years later we are just getting on top of life again.  I would love to share more and will as time goes by.  We both ended up going back to school - his experience good, mine not so much.  Happy to be here and hoping I will be able to help others.  Thanks!
Interesting and awesome for you! How can this help Israel?
We can protest and push (lobby) all we like but at the end of the day, hard work and sacrifice will make things happen.  This is what we have learned as a family.  This is at the heart of our story as a family.  If I ever get the chance, I will go to Israel and volunteer in some capacity or another to help - that needs to be our focus for Israel and go from there.  I learned these things the hard way.  Just expecting the government to hand out is not the solution.
