When Soldiers Return, the Battle Isn’t Over
IDF soldiers and reservists who risked their lives to defend Israel’s right to exist and to protect the Jewish people. They came home — but not whole.
They’re husbands and fathers. Sons and friends. And they’re suffering from wounds no one can see.
D’s Story
D’s Story
D was called up for reserve duty on Simchat Torah.
He carried bodies. He fought. He defended.
Six months later, a child was born.
And in that moment of joy — everything collapsed.
The memories. The pain. The helplessness.
Since then, a freefall.
But not everyone sees the fall.
His son doesn’t understand why Dad doesn’t take him to kindergarten anymore.
His daughter doesn’t understand why he only sleeps.
His wife now carries everything alone:
The kids. The finances. The fear.
The System Isn’t Built for This
There’s no real safety net when a soldier is also a parent.
No one checking in. No one listening. No support to hold the family together.
That’s why OneFamily created the Back to Life Fund.
To make sure families don’t fall apart just because one member is falling inside.
What the Back to Life Fund Does
- Direct financial assistance to families of soldiers suffering from PTSD
- Emotional support that centers not just the soldier, but the spouse and children
- Holistic care—because when one person is wounded, the whole family feels it
For a wounded soul to heal, the entire family needs to breathe.
Why Now?
The number of wounded is overwhelming.
The need is urgent. And no one can do this alone.
But we can. Together.
Every day, more stories emerge — silent wounds, quiet breakdowns, unseen pain.
We’re here to stop the next one.
You Can Help Bring Families Back to Life

100% of your donation to the Back to Life Fund goes directly to helping families of the wounded.
They fought for us.
Now it’s our turn to fight for them.
The Second Front
For Grieving Soldiers
Over the past two years, Israel has fought for its survival on no fewer than seven fronts — facing terror, rocket fire, hostage-taking, international isolation, and devastating personal loss.
But for some soldiers, a deeper, quieter battle rages within.
A second front.
These are the young men and women who, after losing a brother, a sister, a parent — still chose to put on the uniform of the IDF. They carry the weight of service… while still carrying the weight of grief.
OneFamily’s Senior Youth Division (ages 18–23) launched a bold new initiative to walk with these bereaved soldiers — not just as they mourn, but as they serve.
We’ve begun visiting army bases across the country, delivering more than care packages. We bring comfort. Connection. Continuity. And love. Because this program isn’t about what’s inside the package. It’s about what’s behind it.
It’s about showing up. Looking each soldier in the eye. Calling them by name. Asking about their fallen loved one — and then remembering. Many of these young heroes can’t make it to our retreats or healing weekends. So now, we go to them.
We bring the embrace of OneFamily to the field. To the barracks. To the bases.
And we remind them:
You are not alone.
Your pain is seen.
Your service is sacred.
And your family — your OneFamily — is with you always.
This is how we reach them — on their second front. With care. With courage. With continuity. Because healing doesn’t wait. And neither will we.
