Say
“This program requires you to go out and meet other wounded comrades like yourself. At the same time, we share the experiences we’ve gone through in different ways. It gives you the feeling that you can make it."
Wihbe Abo Awad
White Sail - First Cohort
“I think the program is more than a leadership program—it is a healing program for us. We feel very comfortable, even though most of us come from completely different worlds. Fate brought us together, and the White Sail program connected us."
Sahar Atedgi
White Sail - First Cohort
“Our daily life may look normal from the outside—the children go to kindergarten and come home, there are activities, routines, family dinners—but inside, nothing feels normal. Everything we used to do together is now on me. He can’t really function in the day-to-day of family life anymore.”
Shira Kamins
By Your Side - First Cohort
“An incredible program unlike anything else. There is a real desire to come and lead something different in society—something that’s missing—and to bring together all the different parts of society, allowing people to meet, connect, and get to know one another.”
Yonatan Ben Shabat
White Sail - First Cohort
“By Your Side’ is a Spread Your Wings organization program which identifies the need for partners of wounded soldiers to find peer groups, support, and moments of care and pampering."
