Dear Friends,
Once again, we want to take the opportunity to invite you to help young people suffer just a little less... You see, we had to spend a lot of time recently in hospitals tending to Mindy's brain tumor. One of the hardest things to witness is when young children are wheeled into a ward for radiation. The fear of being alone and the pain accompanying the process is beyond description.
After watching Shiri, our new friend from Shaare Zedek, we found something to ease the process. Here's a quote from her mother:
"When you get to the accelerator room at the radiotherapy institute, you enter with a lot of worries and fears and great anxiety, you have to get on a bed that resembles a stiff bench and you have to not move even an inch during the radiation. No matter if the time is short or long, it is so stressful. The patient is surrounded by large devices above him that begin to move and surround him from all directions and the bed also moves and the patient has to remain stable and hold well without moving no matter what. No matter the age of the patient, anxiety has no age. When we arrived with our girl, thirteen-year-old Shiri, to the Radiotherapy Institute in Shaare Zedek, we were offered an experimental device of video glasses with headphones, she could choose a movie from a selection, and it indeed distracted her in a wonderful way".
Please consider joining us and United Hatzalah to donate a new set of HAPPY MED VIDEO GLASSES to the children's ward at Shaare Zedek Hospital, in the merit that Mindel Rachel bat Emuna and Elisheva Shira bat Penina Perel have a speedy recovery, as well as the rest of Am Yisrael's children who need it.
We need to raise $9,500 to purchase these cutting-edge video goggles, please join us!
