Our Friends in the USA
Thank you to our donors and supporters in New York, Miami
and Los Angeles for turning dreams into reality.
The newly-established Jerry and Eileen
Lieberman Cerebral Palsy Center of
Excellence is on its way to becoming a
leading authority on CP in Israel and beyond.
The center ensures across-the-board
implementation of all CP-related activities at
Beit Issie Shapiro, including toilet training,
iPads and assistive technologies, motorized
wheelchairs, and curriculum to promote
inclusion.
The center has also begun to document, as
never before, our accumulated knowledge,
expertise and methodologies so that our
model can be shared and replicated by
others, and reach tens of thousands of
people with CP and related conditions in
Israel.
We are tremendously inspired by
Eileen and Jerry Lieberman, and deeply
appreciate their incredible vision,
passion and longstanding support.

Thanks to Beit Issie Shapiro,
children with disabilities and
their families - whether impacted
directly or indirectly - are in a
better place today. And we are
in a better place because of our
involvement.
Jerry and Eileen Lieberman

Caring for the Children
At Beit Issie Shapiro, families are not turned
away because of a lack of resources.
So we established the Beit Issie Shapiro
Scholarship Fund in Honor of Naomi
Stuchiner, celebrating her tremendous
contribution to the field of disabilities.This
fund will make sure that all families are
provided with comprehensive services
tailored to each individual child regardless
of the family's financial status.

Celebrating Our First Investors and
a Lifetime of Support
American Friends of Beit Issie Shapiro’s
Humanitarian Award each year highlights
and celebrates a remarkable supporter who
has had a unique and innovative impact
on the children and adults with disabilities
that Beit Issie Shapiro serves directly,
throughout Israel, and around the world.
This year, AFOBIS honors Beit Issie
Shapiro’s first investors and continuous
supporters for 35 years: Emily and
Eugene Grant.
Emily and Eugene Grant, through their
commitment to Beit Issie Shapiro, have
made a tremendous impact in the field of
disabilities, helping to improve the lives
of thousands of children in Israel and
throughout the world. The Grants are Beit
Issie Shapiro’s first investors and have
continuously supported the organization
for 35 years.
In June,Israel's Ambassador to the United
Nations, Ron Prosor, hosted the Grants and -
on behalf of the State of Israel - thanked them
for their immense dedication and contribution
to Israel and to Beit Issie Shapiro.
Beit Issie Shapiro is my idea of
an organization that provides
meaningful help to people with
disabilities with love and affection.
I am proud to be a supporter of
this valuable organization.
