Jeff Aeder, a businessman from Chicago, donates three ambucycles to United Hatzalah in honor of the slain Israeli teenagers Gil-ad Shaar, 16, Eyal Yifrach, 19 and Naftali Fraenkel, 16, who were abducted and killed on June 12.
“We wanted to commemorate Naftali, Gilad and Eyal with a way of saving lives, and be diametrically opposed to the murderous ideology that ended their lives,” Aeder says in a statement.

Rachelle Fraenkel, the mother of the late Naftali Fraenkel, calls it “a perfect memorial.”
“Three ambulances with two wheels, rushing to save lives, with the energy of youth. I can see Eyal, Gilad, and Naftali on each of these ambucyles. They would want to do good in the world and save lives,” she says.
