Chai Lifeline Mid-Atlantic, the leading organization providing critical support to families facing pediatric illness in Baltimore, Silver Spring, and the greater Washington, DC, area, is launching its most impactful fundraiser yet: YOU Can Make a Difference.
Running from February 15-17, 2025, this transformative campaign invites the entire community to come together to raise $500,000 to expand Chai Lifeline’s vital services. Thanks to generous benefactors, all funds raised during the campaign will be matched dollar for dollar, doubling the impact of every contribution.
Every day, Chai Lifeline Mid-Atlantic is there for families navigating the unimaginable challenges of pediatric illness. Parents face overwhelming hospital stays, medical expenses, and emotional strain, while siblings often feel lost in the shuffle. Chai Lifeline steps in to provide comprehensive support, ensuring no family faces these hardships alone. “Over 150 families need our help, and we can all show up,” said Racheli Daniel, director of Chai Lifeline Mid-Atlantic. “They are our friends and neighbors, and together we can help them overcome their most difficult times.”
Chai Lifeline Mid-Atlantic offers an unparalleled range of services, including:
- Case management services, ensuring families receive personalized support and guidance through every step of their journey.
- Weekly afterschool programming through i-Shine, giving children living with illness or loss a safe, supportive place to grow and thrive.
- Crisis and trauma interventions, offering comfort and guidance to families, schools, and communities.
- Unforgettable experiences for local children and siblings facing illness through Simcha Nights, Sunday Funday, and Camp Simcha Without Borders.
- Financial aid, advocacy, and respite care, so parents can focus on their child’s well-being instead of their bills.
Together, YOU can make a difference.
