WHO WE ARE
BFL CHANGING LIVES
Brothers for Life (“BFL”) is a non-profit organization created and run by wounded IDF officers. It is based on the unique model of “Injured soldiers helping newly injured soldiers.”
Before October 7th, 2023, BFL actively served 1,300 injured soldiers. Since the war began, over 5,700 IDF soldiers have been injured – nearly 2,400 of them moderately to severely. BFL’s hospital visitation teams, where we match the injuries of veteran soldiers to those of the newly injured, have routinely visited the most severely wounded combat soldiers. As we confront the long-term impacts of this war, BFL is preparing to rapidly and strategically expand operations and programs to accommodate the influx in need.

OUR MISSION
WHAT WE DO
BFL soldier-mentors volunteer on hospital visitation teams
• Deploy veteran-mentor visitation teams to hospitals immediately when an IDF veteran is injured, connecting them to BFL, assessing their needs, and beginning the mentorship process. • Provide critical medical care to severely wounded and chronically suffering soldiers, including second-opinion consultations, cutting-edge medical devices, and surgeries by top U.S. surgeons.
To empower injured combat soldiers to reclaim their lives, fufill their dreams, and continue to serve and inspire the Jewish Nation.
Intake visits with newly injured soldiers
• Support soldiers living with PTSD through counseling and soldier-led mental health and wellness programs.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
• Offer educational scholarships, vocational training, internships, and job placement services to help veterans build their futures. • Provide comprehensive financial support, including direct aid, financial counseling, and access to an interest-free loan fund.
Brothers for Life is seeking partners to provide immediate care, mentorship, and long-term support to newly injured combat soldiers who sacrificed their well-being to protect the Jewish people.
• Implement over 35 soldier-led programs alongside events and activities for veteran families.
It costs just $7,500 a year to help one soldier rebuild his or her life. Your support can honor their sacrifice and make a lasting impact. Join us in this vital mission.
