Support for Siblings

When a child is sick, siblings are often the forgotten sufferers. Even when hard pressed parents and extended family do a fantastic job making life as normal as possible, siblings can suffer in silence. Often unable to express their feelings, children can experience serious anxiety issues that manifest them selves in bedwetting, difficult behaviour and so on.

Camp Simcha Big Brothers & Sister Volunteers  may be allocated specifically to siblings. The extra attention that dedicated volunteers bring can go a long way to easing some of those feelings, ensuring that every child in the family feels special. Parents benefit tremendously from knowing that the extra attention they have to give to the sick child is being balanced to some extent by these wonderful volunteers.
Most or our services and events are open to the sick child and their siblings.
