I-SHINE
Living with illness or loss in the home brings with it a special set of
stresses for children, particularly those who may be too young to
understand or verbalize the challenges. i-Shine after-school activities
give hundreds of children in communities around the country a safe,
nurturing environment filled with peers and young adult mentors who
truly care about them. The program provides stability, supervision and
structure for youngsters who might be going home to empty houses.

i-Shine includes transportation from the child’s school, homework
assistance, fun and games, snacks, dinner, and then transportation
home. Supervised by Chai Lifeline staff and run completely by
community volunteers, i-Shine is a true partnership between the two.

PROJECT CHAI CRISIS INTERVENTION /
HEALING HEARTS BEREAVEMENT SERVICES

Health crises and untimely death impacts not only a family, but ripples throughout an
entire community. Chai Lifeline’s crisis intervention and bereavement professionals
and trained volunteers work with families, schools, camps, and communities to
provide information, solace, inspiration and perspective on horrific events.
Project CHAI supports the efforts of camp and school professionals to comfort

children, help them express their grief, and provide opportunities for healing. Through
seminars for professionals and direct intervention with children and families, Project

CHAI helps give them the tools to cope with distressing situations.
When the crisis results from a child’s diagnosis, the family enters the Chai Lifeline
community. In the unfortunate situation of a child’s death, surviving family members
can receive counseling and ongoing emotional support through the Healing Hearts

Bereavement Program and its retreats.

First Responders

Project CHAI trains community volunteers to be “first responders,” the first people
on the scene following a tragic death. First responders offer immediate emotional
support to the family and work with members of the community to create a support

system for the affected family.

Last year our professionals

WE ARE STRONG - FACES OF HOPE

Music and Lyrics By Malky Storch, Bracha Goldstein and Miriam Storch
written in memory of one of our precious children, Hudis Storch, a’h.

When you gotta take a break from everything that’s going on
Where do you turn? What do you do?

When it feels like nothing has an answer, no one can help you
Just take a look inside of you!

‘Cause you got that smile that can light up the whole room
And you got that heart that can hold a million people

And nothing can compare to the strength you have inside
You fill our hearts with love and pride

And we are strong ‘cause you are fearless
And we have faith ‘cause you believe
And we hold on to raise you up

‘Cuz we love you - YOU ARE OUR FACES OF HOPE!

When the doctors tell you you will lose your hair
You smile and say - “I’ll try to be brave”

And when you can’t go to school anymore
You still find ways to misbehave

‘Cause you got that beauty that shines through broken skin
And you got that glow - even when it burns within
No shades of darkness an take away the light
Of wondrous love defeating night

And we are strong ‘cause you are fearless
And we have faith ‘cause you believe
And we hold on to raise you up

‘Cuz we love you - YOU ARE OUR FACES OF HOPE!

And all you ever wanted right here by your side
A joyous, loving family..... an army - and you’re our guide!

We’re coming together so that you’ll know…………
You are loved - YOU ARE OUR FACES OF HOPE

When you can laugh so hard - it splits your soul in two
Sometimes when we least expect

When the doctor says - “Now let’s try something new”
You open up your arms and you accept

‘Cause you got that hope, even if the numbers don’t
And you got that strength

When you sing as loud as your throat can go!
And nothing can compare to when we sit around and sing

In perfect rhyme and melody
