Dear Friends,
Last Friday (January 17, 2025), our dedicated volunteers visited ‘Dana-Dwek’ Children’s Hospital (Ichilov) in Tel Aviv to bring joy and comfort to the hospitalized patients.
The volunteers visited various pediatric units, including general pediatric wards, various pediatric surgical departments, and the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).
Dear Friends,
This past Friday, January 17, our amazing volunteers headed over to ‘Dana’ Children’s Hospital (Ichilov) in Tel Aviv with one beautiful mission: to bring smiles to kids facing difficult times.
Our team moved through the different pediatric units—including general pediatrics, pediatric surgery, and the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).
Arriving with high energy, big smiles, and hearts full of love, our volunteers spent time chatting with the sweet kids and their families, sharing warm words of encouragement. They handed out age-appropriate gifts that instantly lifted the mood in the rooms. We made sure to include special games and toys to keep the children entertained over Shabbat, when the hospital’s regular playtime activities are paused.
Because keeping these brave kids safe and infection-free is our top priority, we couldn’t enter the Pediatric Hemato-Oncology ward directly. But we didn’t want anyone to miss out! We left a special stash of treats and surprises with the wonderful nursing staff to pass along to the children in the ward.
The families were incredibly touched by the gesture, thanking us warmly. Being in the hospital is never easy, especially for a child, and it takes a heavy toll on their spirit. That is why we make it a priority to show up —to bring a breath of fresh air and ease the burden of illness, even if just for a little while.
A huge shout-out to our volunteers who gave of their time on Friday afternoon, right before Shabbat, to bring light to others. And thank you to the inspiring children and their families for letting us be a part of your day.
Wishing everyone throughout Am Yisrael health, strength, and endless joy! !
