A Heartbreaking Loss in Our Community
On Sunday, the Los Angeles community lost a true gem. Mr. Ido Giat Z”L, only 57 years old, was tragically niftar after a painful and courageous battle with a dreadful illness.
Ido was known to many by his warm, infectious smile and his genuine love for every person he encountered. Others knew him through the flower shop he lovingly built and ran with his wife, La Florista Flowers. But above all, Ido wished to be remembered as a devoted father to his three beautiful children and a loving husband to his beloved aishes chayil, Sarit.
Now, Sarit and the children are left with cherished memories, but without the pillar of their home. As a community, we must come together to support them through this heartbreaking time and help shoulder the heavy burdens they now face.
There is an urgent and pressing need for funds to cover:
Kevura (burial) expenses
Outstanding medical bills
Rent and household necessities
Ongoing support for the children and home
This is a massive undertaking, and we humbly implore our community to give generously and open their hearts to a family in desperate need.
All donations are tax deductible.
Funds will be overseen with full transparency by:
Rabbi Ezra Douek
Reuven Gradon
Moshe Oratz
Checks can be written to:
Od Yosef Hai
517 N Formosa Ave
LA CA 90036
Tax ID: 91-2198640
Memo: Giat family
May we only share besuros tovos and may Ido's memory be a blessing and a source of strength to his family and all who knew him.
