Right after our home was attacked, there was chaos everywhere. Chai Lifeline volunteers were among the first to arrive on the scene, offering their support and expertise. The crisis intervention team knew exactly what to do and say to help children, teenagers, parents and all members of the community respond to such a traumatic event. Though no one should ever need Chai Lifeline's services, we are grateful that they are there when needed."

The shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue devastated our entire Jewish community here in Pittsburgh. Within 24 hours of the tragedy I was in contact with Chai Lifeline's Dr. Dovid Fox and we discussed the various resources they could offer. As a mental professional, I am grateful for Chai Lifeline's critical support and services."

When my son passed away, responders from Chai Lifeline's crisis intervention team came to us to be our rock of emotional support. Levi was a healthy 9-year-old boy who went to sleep Friday night and did not wake up Shabbos morning. Chai Lifeline responders came to our house to help me, my husband and Levi's six siblings cope and process the unimaginable tragedy that we were going through. Experiencing how Chai Lifeline really guided us during this difficult time inspired me to become a Project Chai volunteer myself to be there for others in my community and to be their rock of emotional support during their time of need."

We are very thankful for how Chai Lifeline helped our school when a student had passed away from illness. One of their volunteers guided the hanhala and spoke to the student's classmates. We were guided on what to say to the rest of the school, how to handle the first day, the second day, the third day, and the subsequent weeks and months following the tragedy. Chai Lifeline's guidance was provided with a lot of chochma and respect to our school and to our hashkafah in a really meaningful way."
