When parents have a child with a complex medical condition needing round-the-clock care, it is exhausting. Night after night without sleep can make it impossible for families to keep their heads above water.
Our overnight respite care is life-changing, giving parents the opportunity for some vital rest, knowing their child is in the safe hands of a professional carer.
Camp Simcha also offers day time respite support for parents who need it to help them cope with the practical pressures of their child’s condition.
“The night-time respite is vital because it enables me to keep going.
The day time respite we get is also a lifesaver; it means I can look after my other children, make supper, do jobs I need in the house, sort out all Chaim’s medications – it enables me to keep life going.”
Bruchi, mum to Chaim, who has Aicardi-Goutieres, a rare genetic syndrome requiring round-the-clock care.
