Ari Howard, a fourteen - year
old Jacksonville Jewish Center member and student at Douglas Anderson
School of the Arts in Jacksonville, Florida, lives just a few houses away
from another local teen, Orly Ohayon. Ari is reaching out to the community
to help his seventeen - year old neighbor as she continues to recover from
a tragic accident, by organizing a Super Benefit Concert.
Orly and her mother, Esther
Ohayon (of blessed memory), were hit by a car on September 13, 2013, while
they were walking across San Jose Boulevard to attend Yom Kippur Services.
Orly's mother was killed instantly and Orly miraculously survived. Today,
Orly requires a great deal of medical attention as she recuperates from her
severe injuries. Orly is strong and resilient. Even as she mourns the loss
of her mother and faces tremendous challenges as she recovers, whenever you
see Orly, she has a contagious smile on her face.
