In early 2024, our CEO Yigal Bruk established the Gal Senior Care Foundation in response to a disheartening trend: an alarming surge in scams targeting seniors. Disturbed by the lack of substantial action, he resolved to intervene directly. The crux of the problem lies in the scattered nature of educational resources on senior fraud, often buried in websites inaccessible to the very demographic they aim to protect. Shockingly, statistics from Florida Atlantic University’s “Fraud On The Elderly” report revealed that 63% of senior fraud victims opt not to report the incidents. In 2022, the FBI reported a staggering $3.1 billion loss in the United States alone due to fraud.
As technology advances, so does the vulnerability of seniors to scams. Our mission is to simplify the educational process and create a sanctuary of knowledge for seniors in BC. Through weekly seminars and presentations, we aim to empower seniors with practical tools and insights. These events will be held at local community centres, retirement homes, public libraries, and other relevant establishments in BC, ensuring accessibility to all.
Moreover, we recognize the devastating impact of financial fraud on seniors’ livelihoods. Many find themselves in retirement, robbed of their hard-earned savings. That’s why we’ve launched the NIKKI Program, offering seniors a lifeline—a chance to reclaim their financial stability and enjoy their golden years without fear. Through this initiative, seniors can apply for assistance, providing them with the support they need to thrive.
