A Shared Responsibility Together, We Can Save Lives

It’s easy to think that life-threatening situations will never happen to “me” (and we hope and pray it doesn’t). But accidents don’t discriminate – they can happen to anyone, anytime, G-d forbid. No one is immune to life’s unexpected emergencies. That’s why proactive measures are essential. Team Protect is a global movement committed to saving children’s lives through innovative strategies, leveraging cutting-edge technology, and driving change through awareness. Our initial focus is on protecting children from hot car tragedies and drowning incidents – making best practices and devices for safety accessible – empowering you with the knowledge to avert accidents before they happen.

Don’t wait until it’s too late – join us in protecting our most precious ones.

Together, We Protect What Matters Most

Current challenges, innovative solutions, and your role in building a safer world for every child.

THE PROBLEM

Current child safety issues: In a split second, everything changed. A routine summer morning became the day that shattered a family’s world – and awakened us all to a devastating reality that no parent should ever face. That day taught us that tragedy doesn’t announce itself. It doesn’t wait for us to be ready. The statistics are staggering: over 1,050 children have died in hot car incidents since 1990, with multiple tragic losses each year. Drowning remains the leading cause of death for children ages 1–4, claiming over 1,000 precious lives per year. These aren’t just numbers – they’re our children, lost in tragedies that devastate families and tear communities apart. The most haunting truth? These accidents don’t discriminate, affecting even the most vigilant parents during simple changes in routine or brief moments of distraction.

OUR SOLUTION

What we are doing: But there’s hope: Team Protect is spearheading a global movement, harnessing cutting-edge technology to protect our most vulnerable treasures. Through partnerships with organizations nationwide, like KidsandCar Safety and Hatzalah, we’re centralizing life-saving resources and cutting-edge solutions under one powerful mission. Innovative devices, from AI-powered pool monitoring to smart car alert systems, are creating an unprecedented safety net for families everywhere.

YOUR ROLE

How you can help: Your voice, your action, your commitment can save lives – starting today. At the individual level, become a safety ambassador in your community, help distribute life-saving devices, or share your story to raise awareness. For communities, partner with us to host safety awareness events, implement our cutting-edge technology in your facilities, or join our network of emergency response organizations. Whether you’re a parent, educator, community leader, or someone who refuses to stand by while these tragedies continue, Team Protect offers you concrete ways to turn concern into action. Join our movement. Together, we can transform pain into purpose and create a world where no parent has to say goodbye too soon.

A Letter From Our Founder…

Dear Reader,

Three years ago, my son Sholom was accidentally left in our van on a hot Florida day. He was three years old – my golden-haired little peacemaker who insisted on wearing his tzitzis even on rushed summer mornings. The child who would toddle over to crying classmates and offer them his bottle, who would wrap his tiny arms around friends who were fighting. His name fit him perfectly – Sholom, peace – because that’s exactly what he brought to our busy household of nine children.
That July morning started like any other. A change in routine, a busy schedule. That’s all it took to forever change our lives. One ordinary day, one devastating outcome. Our home, once filled with Sholom’s gentle presence, fell silent in a way that still echoes.

For months after losing Sholom, I couldn’t imagine doing anything but grieving. The thought of getting involved in prevention felt impossible – the pain was too raw, too personal. But as time passed, I learned something that shook me to my core: these accidents happen during ordinary moments, to ordinary families, on ordinary days. They happen when routines change, when we’re distracted, when we’re stressed – in other words, they happen because we’re human. And they can happen to anyone. The most devastating part? Most parents believe it could never happen to them. I know, because I was one of them.

When my husband and I finally began to emerge from our darkest days, we discover three truths. First, what is asked of us is to practice presence especially during the critical moment of parking the car. Second, these tragedies are more common than any of us want to believe. Third, that when the mind does slip, and when it is practically impossible to remember, we can recover. There are things – real, tangible steps we can put in place to protect our children. Cutting-edge technology exists that can safeguard our children when human memory fails. Support systems exist that can help families create safer routines. Tools exist that can save lives. Yet, most parents don’t know about them until it’s too late.

That’s why we created Team Protect. Every time I look at Sholom’s picture – his bright smile, his kind eyes – I’m reminded why this work matters. We’re bringing life-saving technologies to families nationwide. We’re partnering with emergency response organizations, schools, and communities to create comprehensive safety networks. We’re turning grief into action, pain into purpose, and most importantly – we’re saving lives.

Every device we distribute, every family we reach, every community we partner with brings us closer to our goal: ensuring no other family experiences what ours has.

You don’t have to be a parent to understand why this matters. You just have to understand that behind every statistic is a child like Sholom – someone’s son or daughter, someone’s brother or sister, someone’s student, someone’s friend. No child should die from a sudden accident, and no family should have to learn these lessons through loss.

Join us. Whether you can help distribute safety devices, raise awareness in your community, or support our mission in other ways, your involvement matters. Together, we can protect our children and prevent other families from experiencing this unbearable loss. The time for action is now.

With determination and hope,

Nechama Rochel Tauber
