Music filled the concert hall near Rishon Letzion. Children sang, beautiful and pure, while others accompanied them on instruments. But this concert was different — all the performers had special needs. And there would have been no musical score if not for Yad Sarah.

The musicians were all from Tsad Kadima, a non- profit in Israel founded by parents of children with cerebral palsy, and professionals in the field. The organization — which means “A Step Forward”

in Hebrew — aims to empower individuals with physical disabilities with skills to live actively and independently. And for the past 10 years, they've partnered with Yad Sarah's wheelchair-accessible vans to pick up clients and transport them to activities and field trips.

“Without Yad Sarah vans, we would not be able to take our clients on as many life-enriching field trips — each of which is so important for a child’s confidence and social skills,” said Avi Kolodner from Tsad Kadima. “I can’t picture our work without Yad Sarah’s vans.”
