When medical emergencies strike Israeli families, Or Lacholeh provides more than immediate relief — our Healing Getaway Program gives families the chance to reconnect, recover, and rediscover hope together.

A Family’s Journey from Fear to Healing

When a Orly fell ill, her parents spent months in the hospital while their other children waited at home — frightened and alone. That’s when Or Lacholeh stepped in.

We arranged a family healing getaway close to medical care but far from the stress of hospital life. For the first time in months, they shared meals, laughed, and simply felt like a family again.

“We didn’t need anything fancy,” the mother said. “Just sitting together at breakfast gave us strength to keep going.” Orly’s mom

That’s the power of Or Lacholeh’s Healing Getaways — not just rest, but renewal.

How Healing Getaways Change Lives

Or Lacholeh’s program is designed for families coping with serious illness in Israel. We provide funding for:

• Comfortable accommodations near medical centers
• Nutritious family meals
• Activities that bring joy back to children
• Emotional and logistical support before and after each trip

These moments help families rebuild bonds, restore strength, and find emotional healing that medical treatment alone cannot provide.

Real Impact Across Israel

Every year, Or Lacholeh supports thousands of families through food aid, therapy, hospital care, and — most memorably — healing getaways that bring light back into their lives.

💙 60 families received full healing vacations
🍲 92,000 hot meals delivered to homes and hospitals
🎁 250 wishes fulfilled for children facing serious illness

Each getaway transforms pain into connection — and fear into hope.
