Ricky Rosenbaum is a special child who faces enormous challenges. While other children in her situation are dealing with everyday difficulties, she founded the "Live Heart" project on her own to distribute food to those in need, which she has been running with great skill for a long time, in an admirable manner.
A few weeks ago, Ricky was a guest on writer and consultant Efrat Barzel's show on the 'Yiddrav' channel.
During the meeting, she spoke about the important project, her personal struggles with her situation, and her and her friends' aspirations. Among other things, she said that she has a big dream that she wants to fulfill: to meet with Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Leon and enlist him in her project to assist the needy and needy.

The excerpt in question from Ricky and Barzel's long conversation reached Mayor Leon, who was very moved by Ricky's initiative and big heart. Leon immediately called the show's production staff and asked to invite the girl to a personal meeting in his office.
A few days later, Ricky came to a meeting at the mayor's office with her parents, and was very excited. Ricky sat with the mayor for a long hour, and she talked about her special situation, and her struggles with herself and her environment.
""It's not easy to be a special girl," said Ricky, "but I decided not to give up, and to do things for others. Not just for myself. I founded the 'Liver's Heart' project, which distributes food to those in need, and it gives me great satisfaction in life. I'm excited to meet you, and I want to enlist you in my efforts. Help me help others.".
Mayor Moshe Leon wiped away a tear and confessed to Ricky and her family that for him this was one of the most exciting days of his career.

""To see such a brave girl, who transcends all the complexities of life, and mobilizes her whole being for the sake of others, is something you don't see every day. You are a hero, and all of Jerusalem admires you.".
The mayor promised Ricky that he would stand by her important enterprise, and asked her to contact him with any matter related to the project. "You obligate us all to make more of an effort, to give our souls for others. From today on, you have an active partner in the mayor's office. Whatever I can do to help – I'm here. It's a privilege for me.".
