“When I Grow Up, I’ll Be a Firefighter. I Dream of Spending Time with Real Firefighters.”

Artyom Gudym’s dream has come true. Many boys dream of growing up to be firefighters, drawn to their bravery, strength and dedication. Artyom is being treated at Ichilov. Brain cancer kept him inside hospital walls. He bravely completed the main treatment protocol, and doctors gradually allowed him to have contact with the outside world. When we asked his mother what he dreamed of, she sent us a video. Without looking at the camera, Artyom said as he drew that he wanted a firefighter’s costume. Such costumes are hard to find outside Purim. But nothing is impossible for our volunteers. We were given 5 costumes and firefighter toys! Our team talked and decided that a firefighter’s costume should be put to use at a real fire station. The firefighters of Holon opened their doors to us. Our heartfelt thanks to Israel Fire and Rescue, Dan District. Artyom became a real firefighter for the day. The crew welcomed him with smiles, took him for a ride in a fire engine and let him use a fire hose. He became the captain, giving orders through the microphone. The firefighters gave him a huge pile of gifts. Now his firefighter games will feel real, and the memories will stay with him for life. It was amazing! We keep finding reasons to admire our country and its people. Time after time, you show the power of our motto: #NoChildIsAStranger.
