Every day, Chai Lifeline staff and volunteers around the world work to improve the lives of children with cancer, disabilities, and chronic illnesses, providing unparalleled social, emotional, and financial assistance. This year, families confronting pediatric illness and loss are also faced with unprecedented health and economic challenges due to the global pandemic. They need our help more than ever before.

At Chai Lifeline West Coast, our volunteers are our angels that help at every opportunity. Through meal & gift deliveries, home & hospital visits, Big Brother & Big Sister, tutor and office support volunteers, and so much more, our volunteers are superstars! No task is too large for our kind hearted women and men. Starting from Simcha Junior Volunteers and up- we receive help from young and older that share their time, energy, hope and joy in our mission to bring Simcha to our Chai Lifeline warriors on a daily basis, no days off! Together with you, we can bring joy to our children and their families.

Your tax-deductible contribution will have a direct impact, enabling Chai Lifeline to offer essential programs and services, including professional case management and counseling; transportation to medical appointments; nourishing meals delivered to hospitals and homes; emergency financial assistance; Project Chai crisis intervention, trauma and bereavement support; insurance and medical advocacy; respite and volunteer visits; i-Shine afterschool programming for children living with illness or loss in their homes; a medically-supervised, magical summer experience at Camp Simcha, Camp Simcha Special, and newly-launched Camp Simcha Without Borders initiative; and so much more.

Your donation means the world to me and to the children of Chai Lifeline West Coast. Please give generously to my campaign and join me on December 8 as we celebrate this wonderful organization at Chai Lifeline’s virtual Global Gala.

Thank you!
