Someone giving of oneself to help another in need shows a better part of humanity. I recently learned about some volunteers called “angels in orange” that show love, offer hope, and express kindness by their actions. United Hazallah in Israel is an organization that provides hope both for those needing emergency medical assistance and to those looking for ways to help meet such medical needs. Their unusual methods inspire this hope and result in extraordinary success.

To increase survival chances after an emergency happens, medical treatment must be quick. With uniquely designed ambucycles (specially equipped motorcycle ambulances), United Hatzalah’s volunteer medics perform fast and free care to thousands. Their work is impressive and brings hope.

“United Hatzalah of Israel is the largest independent, non-profit, fully volunteer Emergency Medical Service organization that provides the fastest and free emergency medical first response throughout Israel. United Hatzalah’s service is available to all people regardless of race, religion, or national origin. United Hatzalah has more than 5,000 volunteers around the country, available around the clock – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. With the help of our unique GPS technology and our iconic ambucycles, our average response time is less than 3 minutes across the country and 90 seconds in metropolitan areas. Our mission is to arrive at the scene of medical emergencies as soon as possible and provide the patient with professional and appropriate medical aid until an ambulance arrives, resulting in many more lives saved.” (Israelrescue.org)

I am thankful this worthwhile work is multiplying, and the more work there is then there’s more hope for needed emergency care. Now in addition to United Hatzalah of Israel,  there’s Friends of United Hatzalah in the USA; British Friends of United Hatzalah in the UK; Ihoud Hatzala France in France; and United Hatzalah Canada in Canada.

“But whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him? Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.”
