Camp Lifeline
Aaron’s Apple’s primary goal is to help families cope with overwhelming medical costs. As the costs of delivering healthcare rises, the ability of families to afford the appropriate and necessary healthcare diminishes. This places enormous stress upon families. In their time of need, Aaron’s Apple helps families pay for expensive medication and treatments.
Camp Lifeline… a safe haven for kids with fragile immune systems and complex medical needs
Camp Lifeline is a Chai Lifeline Canada program born out of a recognized need for local specialized daytime programming for clients who could not attend regular summer camps due to complex medical needs or due to an increased risk of contracting infection.

Thank you!!
Thank you for a FUNtastic summer! And even more importantly, Thank you for dulling the edge of the pain and for helping seven year old boys see their brother not as a source of pain and disruption, but as the reason for the sparkle and joy in their summer!”
