Blass Family

Today, more families than ever across NYC, the Five Towns, Monsey, and surrounding communities are facing medical emergencies, sudden loss, and emotional upheaval.

For them, life looks different: Hospital rooms replace playgrounds, routine falls away, and parents struggle to hold it together while children fight to hold onto their childhood.

In the midst of this, Chai Lifeline brings something else into view: care, comfort, and hope.

We guide parents through overwhelming diagnoses, sit beside children in the hospital, provide home cooked meals, run after-school programs, offer insurance advocacy, respond to crises, and create unforgettable moments at our medically supervised summer camp. And every day, we remind families they are never alone.

We can’t do it alone.

Your support helps families see beyond fear and uncertainty and rediscover moments of comfort, connection, and joy.
