For the past (almost) year and a half, Chai Lifeline has been an actual lifeline for our family. When Rafi was born, asking for help felt uncomfortable and overwhelming. But Chai Lifeline stepped in—graciously, gently, and without waiting to be asked. They brought meals, support, and comfort at a time when we truly needed it. (Shoutout to Dina!)

Now, I’m giving back the best way I can: I’ve committed to running a half marathon. After so many months in hospital rooms, training outdoors has been healing for me—and for Rafi, who loves the fresh air.

I’ve set a goal to raise $18,000 to support Chai Lifeline’s incredible work—like counseling, case management, meal deliveries, financial aid, and their medically-supervised Simcha summer camps that bring joy to so many children.

Rafi shows up every day with strength and resilience. Inspired by him, I’m asking for your support. Please donate today and help me reach this goal for Chai Lifeline—and for kids like Rafi.

With gratitude,
Miri
