Giving with Viitamin P<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Their mother has cancer<\/strong> and is in a very precarious condition. Her situation is shaky. The family is shaky. And terrified. And numb. And overwhelmed. And beaten. And disoriented. All at once.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

it’s all about giving<\/strong>. A day of fun, of pampering can work wonders for the spirit. I ask them what they would want. Unable to think past their dire situation, they say, “A trip to Teverya, to pray at the gravesite of Rabbi Meir Baal Hanes, to daaven for Ima to have a nes, <\/em>a miracle\u2026
\nEzer Mizion’s Linked to Life<\/strong> is not staffed by mere people. It is staffed by angels. When there are angels along the way, things looks different\u2026<\/p>\n

It starts with a phone call to Shmulik of Ezer Mizion’s Transport Division, who works on the logistics for the family trip to Teverya.<\/p>\n

\"Womn<\/a>
A day of giving<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Family bonding. A vitamin called \u2018Pleasure\u2019 to strengthen the spirit<\/strong>. Vital ingredients for this Special Day. And so it gets better: First thing in the morning Yishai, the nicest volunteer driver in the world, reports at the door with a huge smile and takes them for a banana boat ride on the Kinneret, funding donated by SL from Teverya. Smiles are contagious and tentative replicas begin to appear on the faces of the family.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And even better: They continue on to a gourmet meal at the Caesar Hotel, funding donated by AAA from Caesarea. Long-forgotten feelings of happiness well up in them as they continue their day of pampering.<\/p>\n

They reach the gravesites of Rabbi Meir Baal Hanes in Teverya and Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai in Meron and daven with every fiber of their being. \u00a0Their arms around each other, they leave strengthened. They\u2019re a family. They can cope.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

More Vitamin P, shared together, empowering them for the difficult days ahead: a fantastic performance to suit their mood (funded by MH from Hadera) tops off the day.<\/p>\n

Because that’s the way it is with Ezer Mizion\u2019s Linked to Life in Israel<\/strong>, when there are people there who care about you, who are sensitive to your needs and want with all their heart to pamper you\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ezer Mizion provides services to over 660,000 of Israel\u2019s population annually in addition to its Bone Marrow Registry which saves the lives of Jewish cancer patients the world over.
