Southeast Lasko Family Service Center

Chai Lifeline Southeast brings the sunshine and warmth of Miami, where the regional office is headquartered, to families living as far north as Maryland and as far west as Texas. Warmth is indeed the defining characteristic of the region; "Everything that Chai Lifeline Southeast does is done with love, compassion, and sensitivity," explained one Chai Lifeline mother.

The Lasko Family Service Center has created programs that address the unique needs of its families. "Just Us Girls" brings seriously ill girls, their sisters, and their mothers together for fun activities and quality time. Mother-to Mother Support, a monthly support group for the mothers of chronically ill children, offers advice, guidance, and friendship to Miami moms. An annual retreat for the region's Baltimore families provides this tight-knit Chai Lifeline community with relaxation, fun, and the chance to continue relationships with others living with serious illness.
