Hi Michal and Tsipi,
Thank you for sharing this news, sad as it is. Would you be OK with my
sharing your email broadly, to remind people of the value of being
observant for people who are experiencing personal difficulties and
offering them assistance, including professional resources, in situations
where that might be helpful?
Thanks,
Pine

Dear friends,
We're sorry to inform you that user:DanVag chose to end her life last
week. User:Danveg was an active editor in HEWK and contributed mostly in
the subject of gender and transgender issues. She was also an active
volunteer in TLV Wikiwomen group. She guided newbies at Wikiwomen meetups
with a lot of patience and kindness.
As she was part of the transgender community, we urge you to consider
editing articles about transgender issues in her memory. Please add the
articles you edited to this page
