Larger Than Life

Larger Than Life, an Israeli  nonprofit organization, that aims to improve the quality of life and the welfare of children and youth with cancer and their families in Israel, regardless of faith, race, or gender. It is the largest organization in Israel of its type.

Their wish is to create a substantial change in each and every aspect of the lives of these children and their families. They operate in all hospitals across Israel and in the homes of sick children from the Negev to the Galilee.

Throughout the entire year, the organization organizes a variety of activities for children and their families by dedicated volunteers and trustees.

The activities given, are aimed at giving the children the desires and powers that are so needed for their continued battle with the disease, until they beat it. This respite is a very important factor in their process of recovery and it enables them to connect with other children sharing their predicament and experience, even for a few days, happy and normal childhood experiences. Experiences that other children and youth their age, take for granted. 

Larger Than Life also plan several Dream Trips every year, to Disney World and Disneyland. The purpose of this trip is to give hope, joy, and empowerment to these ill children and to support them socially and mentally in their battle with cancer.

One child to attend this Dream Trip is about 4,000$ and my aim is to collect enough money to cover at least one child's expense. I will also be volunteering in the next Dream Trip to  the West Coast in which Larger Than Life flies 15 kids and a medical and nursing team for two magical weeks.

Remember, these children are very sick and don’t know what it’s like to live a normal life. So please, help give these children a chance to enjoy life and be happy, until the day they beat their cancer. 

Any amount is much appreciated.

Thank you, from all the children and I
