When illness darkens a family’s world,
your light can bring hope
Light Up a Life in Eight Nights
Turn each night into a miracle of healing Israel
Ari survived a serious heart defect as a baby and now battles cancer — yet his courage never fades.
This Chanukah, you can bring light to his family’s darkest days.
Behind every candle we light is a family fighting darkness — sitting beside hospital beds, praying for their own miracle.
Or Lacholeh is there with food, comfort, and compassion.

Despite the pain, Ari’s eyes light up when he sees a gift or a volunteer’s smile.
Now, it’s your turn to help them celebrate again — bringing warmth, joy, and the reminder that they are not alone.

When Everything Falls Apart
One phone call. One diagnosis. One collapse.
That’s all it takes for a family’s world to change forever.
Suddenly, the blissfully boring details that once filled a home — arguments over homework, laughter around the dinner table, rushing out the door for school — vanish. Meal and bedtime routines are replaced by nights in hospital corridors. Paychecks stop while bills multiply. Quiet children listening to their parents whisper about what they can afford to skip this month.
Right now, a family is facing their worst fear.
But they don’t have to face it alone.
When Illness Takes Everything,
Hot Meals Give Back Hope
For parents, it’s knowing a meal is waiting when they come home drained. For children, it’s the comfort of seeing that home still feels like home, even in the middle of a crisis.
Hope, Healing, and Help, Everyday
When illness strikes, families face overwhelming emotional, financial, and practical challenges they never imagined.
Whether from serious illness, natural disasters, or the aftermath of war, Or Lacholeh ensures no family battling illness faces these hardships alone—providing compassionate support that eases burdens and restores hope.
When children and families need it most, your gift brings light to their most desperate moments.
Dream
Fulfillment
Birthdays, healing escapes & magical experiences – every sick child deserves joy.
Crisis
Relief
Emergency food, clothing & hospital essentials when families have nowhere else to turn.
Healing &
Growth
Therapy and tutoring that rebuilds what illness has broken – confidence, hope, and futures.
Comprehensive
Support

The Most Powerful Medicine 
Can't Be Prescribed
Doctors can give chemotherapy, antibiotics, and pain relief, but they can’t prescribe hope. Yet research shows what we already know in our hearts: children and adults who feel hope, joy, and connection actually have higher survival rates – healing better and faster.
That’s why Or Lacholeh delivers more than medicine: meals shared together, birthdays celebrated in hospital rooms, healing getaways that let families breathe, and fulfilling dreams that have gone unmet. These simple gifts restore the strength no pill can give.
