Where Medical Routines Become Prison Sentences
When illness takes over, families lose more than health—they lose normalcy. Children ask when they can play outside like other kids, but treatments keep them confined. Parents sleep in hospital chairs for weeks, watching childhood slip away one medical appointment at a time. Families forget what it feels like to laugh together without medical equipment beeping in the background. Medical treatment may save lives—but it can’t save the family bonds that illness slowly destroys.
When a child battles illness, their entire family carries that weight. Our Healing Getaways program provides what medicine alone cannot: peaceful escapes that restore family bonds and create strength for the journey ahead.
Through carefully planned experiences across Israel, we give families the gift of normalcy when medical routines consume every moment.
Meaningful excursions to beaches, zoos, and nature retreats where children can simply be kids again while parents watch them play with wonder instead of worry.
Retreats in comfortable Air B & B’s where families sleep in real beds, cook together, and reconnect away from hospital sounds and schedules.
Extended getaways that provide the deep restoration brief hospital breaks cannot offer, building emotional reserves for treatments ahead.
We handle most costs—such as transportation, accommodation, meals, and activities—so families focus entirely on healing and being together.
Your contribution strengthens family bonds that illness threatens to break and creates sustaining memories.
The three days at the beach house were the first time in months we felt like a real family again. My son built sandcastles instead of asking about his next treatment. We laughed until our stomachs hurt.
