The ‘ILAI Fund’ was established by Albert Elay Shaltiel as a nonprofit organization working towards the benefit of Israeli children with special needs. Our children are those who suffer from physical, emotional and mental disabilities, children who have been afflicted with various syndromes such as down syndrome, autism, polio, deafness, blindness and other handicaps, cancer patients, orphans and
children who have been wounded in accidents, wars or acts of terrorism. Our goal is to reach out to those whose family's financial situation prevents them the opportunity to receive the proper care to meet their needs. We do all that we can to find a way to help these unfortunate children and their families - mostly children of single parents and occasionally orphans. We are always available to our children 24 hours a day every day. We have a strong will and desire to make their lives easier whenever possible and as quickly as possible. Our organization is approached by Welfare Councils of the hospitals such as ‘Schneider Children’s Medical Center of Israel' in an organized fashion and they in turn provide us with the necessary documents which enable us to understand every issue in depth. The family’s financial situation, medical condition of the child, and treatment needed. When this is completed we conduct an introductory meeting with the child and thus begin the procedure. The families can reach us 24 hours a day ensuring that they receive the utmost help as quickly as possible.
