Donate for a life-saving hug!!
“Every year, hundreds of babies are abandoned in hospitals throughout Israel immediately after birth or close thereafter.
These babies suffer from various medical conditions and remain hospitalized in various departments sometimes for months without a mother’s loving hug.
“First Hug” is the only association that is specifically designated to provide emotional care to these lonely abandoned babies.
The Association’s volunteers fill the vacuum that is created by the absence of parents and give the babies the human touch, the emotional treatment, the warmth, and the love that is so required for their development and recovery.”
