Our camps and retreats allow children to forget, for a short while, just how sick they are. Accompanied by a full medical team of 4 doctors, 5 nurses, 2 psychologists, and 2 tons of medical equipment, any child that the hospital consents can join our camps. The 130+ children receive all their regular treatment while enjoying the camaraderie and excitement of camp, giving them a reason to keep fighting.
Our volunteers accompany the children to camp and visit sick children in the hospital and at home to bring them treats and cheer them up. They give up their free time to bring smiles to the faces of children who may not live to celebrate another birthday. They often comment how they’ve gained from the sick children more than they’ve given.
The Center offers children who aren’t in school a chance to relax, laugh, play, and make up for lost studies. Healthy siblings and parents are also invited to join the activities, the spa, the ‘big sister/brother’ program, learn new skills, and more. Since 1998, we’ve supported families who have a child with cancer at the center.
The psychologists join our camps and are present at the House of Dreams Center to support the sick children, the healthy siblings, the parents, and our madrichim and madrichot. They provide a listening ear to everyone who is affected by the sick child so they can process their sadness in a healthy way.
Located at our House of Dreams center, parents with a sick child can consult with world-acclaimed oncologists to discuss possible treatment options, get a second opinion, and ask any questions about the process. The doctors are innovative and provide treatment plans for parents with little other hope, and are able to prescribe Cannabis as pain relief for children with cancer.
Our support groups cater to parents of children with cancer, children with cancer, and healthy siblings of children with cancer. With professional psychologists leading the groups, everyone involved with the sickness can feel supported, cared for, and validated, so we can make the journey feel less lonely.
Since every child in every stage of illness is welcome to join our camps, retreats, and trips, we have a full mobile hospital accompanying us wherever we go. When not used as a mobile hospital, it is converted to a wig and beauty salon and parked outside hospitals. We teach children and their parents how to care for their wigs while allowing them to feel spoilt during their difficult ordeal.
One of the first questions girls ask when they hear what the diagnosis is: “Will I lose my hair?” We give children a beautiful, custom-made wig completely free of charge. This is made possible by children from all over the world who donate their hair and raise sponsorship while doing this selfless act.
We have a database of volunteers who are willing to donate blood and platelets on short notice for children with cancer in need of a blood transfusion. We also have a blood bank at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem and ensure that we have enough blood at all times. Our volunteers sit for 90 minutes at a time to donate blood!
“The volunteers of Zichron Menachem came with such a joy of life, and they sent me home. ‘Go refresh yourself, sleep, take a shower. Come back whenever you want. We’re here with your daughter, you have nothing to worry about.”
Nava, Eden’s mother.
