When we talk about treating childhood illness, we often focus on the medical aspects – the medications, the procedures, the hospital stays. But there’s another crucial element of healing that happens behind the scenes: emotional therapy. Today, we want to share with you how your generous donations have been making a vital difference in this area.
Thanks to your generous support, we’ve been able to provide crucial emotional therapy for all five of the Sigron children as they navigate their family’s challenging journey. Eighteen months ago, their lives changed dramatically when 19-year-old Talia was diagnosed with leukemia after what initially seemed like flu symptoms. Since then, the family’s routine has been shaped by chemotherapy treatments, hospital stays, and the constant vigilance that comes with fighting cancer.
While medical expenses are significant, we believe investing in the children’s emotional well-being is equally important – and your donations have made this possible. Professional therapy has given Renana (17), Yuval (14), Hallely (12), and little Shira a safe space to process their feelings and develop coping strategies as they navigate life with a seriously ill sister. The children have learned to handle the uncertainty of changing plans, long hospital stays, and times when their parents need to focus on Talia’s care. These ongoing therapy sessions represent a substantial expense, but we’ve seen firsthand how they strengthen the entire family’s resilience.
We want to be transparent: maintaining consistent emotional support through professional therapy is costly, but it’s making a real difference. The children are better equipped to handle their challenging circumstances, and the whole family benefits from this support. Your donations have made it possible for us to care for both the medical and emotional needs of families like the Sigrons.
Thank you for helping us provide comprehensive care for these children. Your continued support ensures that while we fight the physical battle against illness, we’re also protecting and nurturing these young hearts and minds.
