A home where children can heal and families can stay together, close to the hospital Near Ziv Medical Centre in Tzfat, a new home will rise for families from the Galilee, the Golan Heights, and northern communities. A place where distance, fear, and fatigue no longer stand between a child and their care.
In northern Israel, families of children undergoing serious treatments carry a double burden. First, they cope with the emotional toll of serious illness while living under the shadow of escalation, displacement, and uncertainty. Second, for a child battling cancer, hospitalized an average of 100 days per year, travel to treatment can become unmanageable. Many families feel drained, and some are forced to stop treatment. A new home will be created for families of children undergoing long term treatments, allowing them to stay together in a supported environment.
The Child & Family Rehab Home in Tzfat Following on the successful model of other similar “Ronald McDonald” homes, The Child and Family Rehabilitation Home will allow families to remain together throughout serious treatments. Alongside a dedicated care team trained to support parents, children, and siblings, families will receive emotional and practical support during an uncertain and deeply challenging time. While hospitals focus on life saving medical care, this essential family support is often overlooked. Programs that strengthen parents and families play a critical role in wellbeing during treatment and long after.
Your gift will help build this residential and rehabilitation centre, including private family suites, playrooms and activity spaces, a gym and fitness room, a recreation room, kitchen and dining areas, and a rooftop terrace with a therapeutic garden. This project will provide stability, dignity, and hope for hundreds of children and families each year. With your generosity, you are creating more than a building. You are creating a true home away from home.
