Purim begins on March 23. Pass it on. But don’t pass on sending Purim cards to your family and friends. Our Purim cards are available to purchase at select retailers in the GTA. And, if you’d rather skip the mail and send e-cards, we have them too! Whichever option you choose, they all support Chai Lifeline Canada programs and services for children and families impacted by illness. ❤️Link is below 👇chailifelinecanada.org/purim_cards/#chailifelinecanada #chailifeline #purimcards #purim #happypurim #givewhereyoulive #wefightillnesswithlove #hopeliveshere ...

Word of the Day: Chesed (noun) kindness; loving kindnessToday we welcomed not one, but TWO, groups of young people at Chai Lifeline Canada. They came from York University’s Hillel chapter and from the March Break CTEEN Chesed Retreat to learn about our mission and how we fulfill it everyday. Our volunteer coordinators gave presentations that focused on how our dedicated volunteers make it possible to support our families in the many ways we do. From meal deliveries to being big siblings, our volunteers are an integral part of our team. The students from CTEEN pitched in today to get us set up for a busy tomorrow. They packaged the NOURISH boxes that will be delivered to caregivers in the morning, while another group assembled Purim activity kits that will be delivered to SickKids in the afternoon. Did we say that Chesed is a noun? It’s also a verb. We saw Chesed in action today and we’re feeling extra grateful for the values of our community - particularly the young people.❤️ @hillelyork @hillelontario ❤️ @cteen_toronto #chailifelinecanada #chailifeline #chesed #volunteer #givewhereyoulive #community #wefightillnesswithlove #hopeliveshere ...

When we say that “we fight illness with love”, this is one of the very special ways we do that.Recently, a group of Chai Lifeline Canada families, together with staff and volunteers, spent 3 days in New Jersey for a unique experience at the American Dream Mall. They went swimming and skating, had fun at the amusement park and Legoland and so much more. They enjoyed meals and activities on their own and also as a group, building special friendships, rooted in their shared common experience. On her way home, one of the mothers was so grateful for the experience saying that ”meeting moms that went through a similar struggle and made it out on the other side has been so therapeutic.”❤️#chailifelinecanada #chailifeline #wearefamily #wefightillnesswithlove #hopeliveshere ...
