About Chai Lifeline Southeast
When there is help there is hope
When a child is born or diagnosed with a serious illness,
the entire family feels the pain. Chai Lifeline Southeast,
the Lasko Family Southeast Family Services Center,
provides the emotional, social, and financial support
that enables each member to weather the crises and
daily challenges of serious pediatric illness. Services
include hospital visits and respite, insurance support,
counseling, therapeutic and recreational programs for
the entire family, and much more. Every year dozens of
Southeast region children and teens attend Camp Simcha,
named in memory of Dr. Samuel Abraham, and Camp
Simcha Special, named in memory of Zvi Dovid Obstfeld,
extraordinary summer camps designed to meet the medical
and social needs of children with life-threatening or lifelong
illnesses. All services are free of charge and delivered with
professionalism, sensitivity, and compassion.
