In 2022, our family, along with other families in the United States, organized and raised money to send an ambulance to Magen David Adom, Israel’s ambulance and blood agency. Tragically, we were informed that one of the first individuals killed in this attack was the emergency responder who was driving our ambulance while responding to an emergency here in Israel.

We, along with Magen David Adom, deeply mourn the death of Senior EMT and ambulance driver Aharon Chaimov, HY”D, a 25-year-old resident of Ofakim, who was murdered by terrorist gunfire while fulfilling his duty, going out to save lives and treat the victims of the terrorist attack against the state of Israel. Aharon left behind two children, a wife, parents, siblings and other family members.

At these unprecedented challenging times, MDA needs our help more than ever. Our family is committed to raising funds for yet another ambulance for Israel. We intend to dedicate this ambulance to the memory of Aharon Chaimov and invite you to join us in this worthy endeavor. Go to Bergendonate.com.
