Israel Elwyn and ETTA, two Network member organizations dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities, have deepened their collaboration through shared activities and mutual support in challenging times.

During the recent wildfires in Los Angeles program participants at Israel Elwyn created heartfelt signs for their ETTA counterparts, reading, “To our friends at ETTA, Stay Safe. We are thinking about you! Your friends from Israel Elwyn.”

ETTA program participants sent sincere messages of support to their Israeli friends following October 7^th, and IE clients shared how they felt the support of their American friends, as Naftali said “we tell them about Israel—what we’re going through now during the war and how we’re coping. They care about us…and encourage us.”
