Bunny Joins Ezer Mizion in Cancer Support<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Many people can hardly say the word. It\u2019s so scary. It\u2019s a word that reminds us that we are mortal. That someday life will be over. If we do say the word, we often add the phrase, \u2018You shouldn\u2019t know from it.\u2019 But what if they do know? What if they hear the word countless times a day said by medical personnel with very serious faces? What if they have crossed the road from \u2018not knowing\u2019 to that word taking over their lives? And what if they are facing the dread\u2026the terror\u2026the horror\u2026all alone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where Ezer Mizion comes in. Trained staff and volunteers are there to hold their hands when all they want is to run away from the nightmare but can\u2019t. Ezer Mizion is everywhere. They are in the hospital room with a warm hug while you cry and cry. They\u2019re back again every day with a hot meal, attractively served, as you sit by the bedside of your precious child. They\u2019re in your home doing homework with your other kids. They\u2019re in the stationary store with your son who needs school supplies so he can be a kid like all the other kids, at least in school. Where else do you find them? They\u2019re in the clothing store with your daughter who needs a new dress for a school function. They\u2019re on the phone coordinating the Bar Mitzvah for your son who thought he might not have one. You\u2019ll find them on the road driving family members to and from the hospital for shifts and you\u2019ll find many of them at Oranit offering psychological therapy for those who find it so difficult to cope. Many are in Oranit\u2019s Petting Zoo providing Animal Therapy, or the Music Room of the Crafts Room or organizing trips and birthday parties. Yes, they are really everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roni and her family have met many of them. Roni was so disappointed when she was told that the upcoming trip to Dubai for a group of cancer patients was not going to include her. Her medical condition would not allow it. It was necessary for her to remain in Israel. Missing the trip?!  After everything she had gone through?! Roni was inconsolable\u2026until an Ezer Mizion volunteer put a smile back on her face. \u201cYou\u2019ll have your own trip, Roni. Right here in Israel. You didn\u2019t think we\u2019d allow you to be left out, did you?!\u201d For two days, she was pampered with breakfast and dinner in restaurants, ATVs, horseback riding, ninja, climbing walls and lots and lots of love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
