Chai Lifeline's guiding principles are
- • That seriously ill children need and deserve as happy and normal a childhood as possible.
- • That illness affects each member of the family.
- • That the well-being of an ill child is impacted by the well-being of his or her family.
- • That pediatric illness can have a devastating financial effect on families.
With this in mind, Chai Lifeline strives to
- • Find ways to bring joy to the lives of our young patients and their families through creative, innovative, and effective family-centered programs, activities, and services.
- • Engender hope and optimism in children, families, and communities.
- • Educate and involve communities in caring for ill children and their families.
- • Provide unparalleled support throughout the child's illness, recovery, and beyond.
- • Offer all services free of charge to ensure that every family has access to the programs it needs.
- • Embody the ideals of compassion, kindness, and caring for others inherent in Jewish culture and life.
