WHO WE HELP

We know that the illness impacts not just the person who is sick, but their entire family. Chai Lifeline Canada services include support for siblings, parents and children, and more:

FAMILY Programs

Our programs and services take care of everything from the mundane, like help getting to doctors’ appointments and hot meals when children are hospitalized,to the extraordinary, like medically supervised overnight camps that give children confidence, courage, and life skills they need to fight dreaded illnesses.
Aaron’s Apple

For many chronic illnesses, the only option to ease the suffering comes in the form of extremely expensive medication and treatments. Aaron’s Apple provides direct funds to eligible families for medication, treatments, and patient amenities for chronically ill children whose families cannot afford these costs.

Big Sibling Program

Chai Lifeline Canada pairs ill children and their siblings with a “Big Sibling,” an older teenager or young adult. The Big and Little Siblings meet weekly to participate in social and recreational activities or to just to hang out. This provides the child with extra attention and a break from a challenging home environment. Activities include but are not limited to ice skating, going out for ice cream, and attending a movie. Many of these bonds become very strong, lasting for years beyond the illness.

Crisis Intervention

Chai Lifeline’s CIT extends its support to our community in the immediate aftermath of a crisis, tragedy, or a traumatic event. The team of 15 volunteers was activated in December 2020 after an extensive training period. In previous years, they were dispatched to provide immediate support in cases of suicides, drowning of a child, a parent suddenly passing away, and COVID-related bereavement.
