Mission:

 

Chai Lifeline’s guiding principles are

  • That seriously ill children need and deserve as happy and normal a childhood as possible;
  • That illness affects each member of the family;
  • That the well-being of an ill child is impacted by the well-being of his or her family;
  • That pediatric illness can have a devastating financial effect on families.

With this in mind, Chai Lifeline strives to

  • Find ways to bring joy to the lives of our young patients and their families through creative, innovative, and effective family-focused programs, activities, and services;
  • Engender hope and optimism in children, families, and communities;
  • Educate and involve communities in caring for ill children and their families;
  • Provide unparalleled support throughout the child’s illness, recovery and beyond;
  • Build communities among children and families living with illness or loss that allow them to engage, strengthen, and encourage one another;
  • Offer all services free of charge to ensure that every family has access to the programs it needs.

Chai lifeline also runs a surplus every year and now has 10 million extra in the bank.

If you want to volunteer to help cancer kids, God bless you. If you are looking for your money to have an impact, there are more effective organizations.
