In a low-key announcement that sent shockwaves across the country, actress Gal Gadot has launched a fundraising campaign to directly support cancer patients in the poorest state in the United States, where access to healthcare, once considered a basic right, has become a luxury for most people.

In an emotional speech, Gal Gadot recounted her visits to families struggling with cancer. She witnessed many people selling all their possessions, from their homes, land to their last belongings, just to have enough money to pay for chemotherapy. “No one should be forced to choose between food, shelter and medicine,” Gal Gadot emphasized. Those words, simple but powerful, touched millions of hearts.

The fundraising project goes beyond providing financial support to patients, and also aims to work with local hospitals to expand treatment capacity. Gal Gadot’s goal is to build a sustainable network where patients not only receive immediate help but also have access to better, longer-term health care. In a powerful statement, she affirmed that this is “a promise for those left behind.”

The event has attracted a lot of public attention because it touches on a painful problem in the US health system: the inequality in access to health care. While wealthy states can provide modern health services to their citizens, in the poorest states, thousands of people still live in anxiety, when a cancer diagnosis can mean the whole family falling into bankruptcy.

Gal Gadot also called on the international community to join hands. According to her, cancer does not discriminate between nationality, skin color or class, and the pain of losing a loved one is something that anyone can sympathize with. Therefore, the project not only calls for contributions from the American people but also from friends around the world.

Many medical experts consider this a breakthrough step, because in addition to financial support, the project also opens up opportunities for long-term cooperation between charities, hospitals and local governments. If successful, this model can become a template for replication in many other states and even other countries.

However, Gal Gadot also frankly admitted that the project would not be successful without the cooperation of the community. “I can bring confidence, I can open the door, but you are the ones who hold the key. This is not just my project, but the journey of all of us,” she affirmed.

When asked what inspired her to start the project, Gal Gadot shared that it was a picture of a little girl she met at a local hospital. The child smiled, held her hand and whispered, “I just want to live a little longer to see my mom happy.” That simple statement made her cry and realize that fame and wealth would be meaningless if she did not use it to create change.

Gal Gadot’s cancer fundraising project is now more than just a charity initiative, but also a reminder of humanity, responsibility and the belief that even in the poorest places, the light of hope can still be lit.
