Mission Statement

Chai4ever changes the face of illness for nearly 1,000 patients and 3,000 children with practical assistance in the home, from meals and housekeeping assistance to volunteers that help with grocery shopping and homework. It keeps patients and their children afloat with counseling, insurance advocacy, medical referrals and transportation to and from medical appointments. Recreational events including holiday parties, family events, big brothers and sisters and Camp4ever!, a summer camp exclusively for children struggling with a parent's serious illness, lift spirits and build a community of encouragement and strength for thousands of children.

About This Cause

Our goal at Chai4Ever is to lighten the impact of parental illness for the patient, the spouse, and the children by providing practical and emotional support for the whole family. We strive to create a caring community that surrounds the family in crisis with strength and hope and which helps keep their home life stable and functional, so the children can thrive and the parent can heal. Some of our many support services include homemade meal delivery, transportation to and from medical appointments, homework help for children, housekeeping assistance, medical insurance advocacy, crisis counseling, caregiver support for the healthy spouse, and so much more. Our family retreats give patients and their families a chance for a stress-free weekend away to recharge and reconnect, and we collaborate with the children’s schools to ensure the children receive the extra support they need to maintain their grades. We have organized numerous recreational events for children with sick parents, such as carnivals, concerts, parties at indoor recreation centers, and even a travel camp.
