Baruch HaShem I was blessed to work in the most amazing place this past summer. I worked in a place that truly transforms lives of children going through the unimaginable. After spending time creating bonds with campers in Camp Simcha I have realized how special this camp truly is. I had the privilege of working in Camp Simcha this summer and I have seen how it truly transforms people and changes lives. I want to be a part of helping Camp Simcha raise money to continue helping these children and their families.

I am running to raise money for Chaiyanu/Chai Lifeline Israel, a wonderful organization dedicated to helping very sick children and their families. However, I know I can’t do it alone. I need your help. Chaiyanu is a wonderful organization that provides year–round emotional, social, and financial support to more than 400 children and their families every year. Chaiyanu´s programs and activities change their lives forever, returning joy and hope and enabling them to live full and happy lives despite the presence of illness. Its most famous program is Camp Simcha and its sister, the Hope Tour. Every year these two programs offer 100 kids a chance to forget about illness and just be kids again. To get a better idea of what Chaiyanu does for families, please watch the videos below. I know they will touch your heart the way they touched mine. Training is not easy, but neither is dealing with illness. If the children of Chaiyanu can fight each day, if they can push themselves to go through hospital stays and treatment, I can do this for them. But I can't do this without your support. I need your help to raise as much money as possible for these kids. So please, push the donate button and help me put smiles on the faces of sick children. Let's do this together! Let's make dreams come true. Best - Shira
