The fund was established by Marc Belzberg and Chantal Belzberg , the parents of Michal Belzberg , a 12-year-old girl who was preparing to celebrate her Bat Mitzvah in Jerusalem when she heard the news of the Sbarro restaurant suicide bombing in which fifteen people were murdered and 130 men , women and children were wounded . Michal insisted that her parents cancel the large party that the family was planned , and donate the funds to help the survivors and the families of the dead . She also asked that friends and relatives donate to the fund in place of gifts . The family rapidly turned the fund into a charitable organization that rapidly raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for victims of terrorism directed against Israel
