(live here) – Ami Ayalon, 49, a resident of Kiryat Motzkin, is a devoted and loving father who is raising his beloved son alone. A man with a huge heart, who is always there for others, even when it hurts, even when it's difficult. But this time he's the one who needs you.
About 1.5 million shekels to return to normal
Ami suffers from severe kidney failure and without an urgent kidney transplant, the chance of regaining his life and his father's heart is diminishing. The kidney transplant, Ami's great hope, is expected to be performed abroad, but the cost is an impossible 1.5 million shekels. The amount includes the cost of the surgery, flights, medical care, the stay abroad and the long recovery process that will follow.
"I'm not asking for just me. I'm asking for my child. He needs me. I'm fighting to stay here for him, present and strong," he says.
Active and loving father
Ami is dealing with abrasive treatments and exhausting dialysis. He continues to be an active and loving father, but his body is no longer able to sustain itself on its own. Now, the last hope is a transplant and the opportunity depends on raising funds to make the fateful surgery possible. Family members, friends and relatives tell of a man who always helped others, who always chose to give even when he didn't have much left. Now they are appealing to you on behalf of Ami and his little son for help.
"Every donation, big or small, brings him closer to his goal. Every share, every word gives him the strength to continue fighting."
In an interview with "Hai Fa," Ami says:
"I've been undergoing dialysis for 15 hours a week for six months now. I'm worn out and tired, and dealing with disappointment after disappointment. This is the seventh time I've received hope for a suitable kidney donation, and at the last minute everything collapses. I don't have the strength to take it anymore.
The waiting time for donation in Israel is very long, sometimes up to eight years, and I simply cannot afford to wait. The dialysis exhausts me, and after each treatment I am unable to work. I tattoo professionally, but after the treatments it is difficult for me to even speak, and it is hurting my livelihood and that of my son."
Ami is not asking for mercy, he is asking for a chance. For life. For fatherhood. For the child who needs his father here, now, and for many years to come. "I urgently need a kidney transplant, and I have the option of traveling abroad for a transplant - but it is a very expensive procedure that I cannot afford on my own. Any financial donation, small or large, can bring me closer to saving my life. This is a request for life - for me, for my son, for hope. I ask everyone who can help not to remain indifferent."
Let him make a good decision to stop getting tattoos because it is forbidden! According to our holy Torah, which we just celebrated during Shavuot.
And thanks to this, miracles will be seen in God! There is nothing to lose, only Yerich, Amen, yes, may it be so.
Regarding the donation to Ami Ayalon.
I really want to donate.
But – after my Adrai accounts were stolen from me in various ways, I have a principled decision not to provide credit information.
If it were possible to donate via bit, I would willingly donate.
Is this Ami who has a tattoo shop in the heart of the bay?
