Choosing life, building hope: Former hostage turns to disability advocacy to honor wife, daughters

Eli Sharabi, a former hostage, has partnered with the organization Shalva to establish a new center in Ashkelon. The facility is dedicated to honoring the memory of his wife and daughters and will focus on providing disability services and trauma care for residents in southern Israel.

The initiative serves as a platform for Sharabi’s transition into disability advocacy. By combining community support with specialized care, the center aims to address the ongoing needs of the region while serving as a personal tribute to his family.
