There isn't enough space in the world to list everything that Chai Lifeline has done for our family and how much they mean to us. My son was diagnosed with JPA at the age of five. Chai Lifeline was there with food for the family, hospice care volunteers, activities for the siblings, a shoulder to cry on, camp for my son, parties and outings for him and the whole family to help us feel a little bit normal. Everything is taken into account when working with these children with life threatening illness, so that the treatments and tubes don't stop them from having the times of there lives. As a parent I have bonded with other parents and found comfort in the groups and retreats. The speakers and experts that I have at my disposal through Chai Lifeline, have given me priceless help.

My daughter recently met a girl who has leukemia. She took to her right away and started a close friendship. The girl described her involvement with chai lifeline and what they have done to help her family throught the ordeal. this inspired my daughter to become a volunteer. She was so touched by all that she heard. keep it up, everyone needs you.

My wife and daughter are volunteers for Chai Lifeline and it's amazing how many people they help, and the depth to which they go to make them feel comfortable. I've never seen an organization go to such lengths to make a family feel at-ease with their trials and tribulations. Chai Lifeline is an internationally recognized organization and with good reason.

My son was born with a condtion that doesn't allow him to bend his arms or legs. He is now 10 years old. Since he was 3 every summer was one of the hardest seasons to get by. He couldn't ride a bike, couldnt run in the park, shoot basketballs, play baseballs, etc. Then Chai Lifeline/Camp Simcha Special came around and saved our lives. WIth activites throughout the years to make my son feel so very special. But the best part of all is Camp Simcha Special. He looks forward to these incredible days all year. Besides the regular swimming,very special entertainment, they have candle making, mosaics, woodshop, ceramics and other very special arts and crafts. All activites that my son is able to do. The counsellors are full time entertainers!! They don't stop giving these childeren FUN!! and when camp is over they keep in touch with the campers - even from distant places such as Israel!!
There is no organization I can think of who has helped us in so many ways than Camp Simcha/Chai LIfeline.

Make Camp retreats throughout the years so my son would have something to look forward to during the year

I cant say enough about how wonderful this organization is. My nephew has been going to Camp Simcha for the past 4 years. Each year when he comes back he is a happy, smiling, proud boy. his spirits are so fantastic and the doctors are always so happy with his progress over the summers. He waits from the time he comes home each summer until he can go back. He loves the fact that they cater to his every need. He feels loved, cherished and they give him confidence to be secure with his disability..
