Erel Halevi was born on 13 January 1991. At the age of 11, she was confined to a wheelchair due to an autoimmune disease, learning to walk on crutches after some time. Halevi underwent rehabilitation at Sheba Medical Center for several years, but saw no further improvement in her condition. She remained positive, as she had already seen progress in moving from the wheelchair to crutches.
