Camille, from the Philippines, is the live-in caregiver of 95-year-old Nitza. When Hamas attacked Kibbutz Nirim on Oct 7, Camille found herself face-to-face with Hamas terrorists in their home.

Camille had saved 1,500 shekels ($370 USD) to give her family ahead of a planned trip to the Philippines. Without a second thought, she handed the money to the terrorists and said, “Take everything, just don't take the flight ticket. She’s an old woman and doesn’t understand what’s happening. Take the money and go.”

Miraculously, the terrorists took the money and left. Camille climbed into Nitza's bed and hugged her until they were finally rescued. Camille later canceled her trip because as she said, "I feel that I cannot leave her, I feel that she is my best friend."

Camille is an extraordinary and heroic human. If only there were more people like her.
