After terror or war, families are often left trying to navigate complicated systems while coping with grief, trauma, injury, and major changes to everyday life.
Many families find themselves having to fight for recognition, support, and basic rights during periods of profound grief and trauma.
At a time when people are already overwhelmed, they are suddenly expected to deal with paperwork, recognition processes, financial support, legal questions, and ongoing communication with government institutions and official bodies.
OneFamily helps individuals and families understand and access the rights, recognition, and support available to them, while standing beside them through processes that can often feel exhausting, confusing, and emotionally difficult.
- Guidance through victim recognition and benefits processes
- Help navigating the National Insurance Institute and other government bodies
- Assistance with claims, appeals, and complex cases
- Guidance around legal, financial, and day to day matters following loss or injury
- Advocacy to help ensure victims and families receive the recognition and assistance they deserve
Many of these challenges continue for years, long after public attention fades.
Advocacy is also an important part of our work, helping ensure victims and their families are properly recognized, protected, and supported long after the immediate aftermath. This may include:
- Participating in policy discussions and national forums
- Attending meetings in the Knesset and other government settings
- Advocating for the rights and needs of victims and their families
- Identifying gaps where victims and families are still not receiving the care or support they need
- Working to improve future policies and services affecting victims of terror and war
Because of its close relationships with families across the country, OneFamily often sees where help is still missing and pushes for changes that better protect and assist victims and their families.
For many families, knowing someone is standing beside them through these challenges and continuing to advocate for their needs brings a sense of support, dignity, and reassurance during some of the most difficult periods of their lives
