As the world slowly begins to open up, children are once again going outdoors and enjoying the carefree days of summer. For children with special needs, many are remaining at home. Due to Covid-19, camps and special needs programs are closed, leaving parents scrambling to create summer plans for their children.
Imagine the anguish of a shliach, far from family and communal support, trying to provide structure for his child with special needs.

Imagine the worry of a shlucha, trying to homeschool all her children, while being the therapist and special-ed teacher for her special child.

Imagine being homebound with all your children for weeks due to Covid-19, and now facing the long summer months, without any respite, structure or support for your child with special needs.

Imagine the joy on a child’s face opening a package full of their favorite activities and crafts.

Imagine the sigh of relief from a parent being given the opportunity for a night away, after months of being home with their child, without the support of school and therapies.

Imagine the laughter of a family, out of the confines of their home, on a family vacation tailor-made for the needs of their special child.

This summer, we are committed to expanding support for our Shluchim families.
Due to their diverse needs, we will be funding experiences personalized for their unique situations. We are creating opportunities for parents to recharge and connect with others in similar situations, empowering them to return to their makom hashlichus invigorated and inspired.

Partner with us to bring the joy of summer to these unique families. You can change the reality of our families, providing much-needed rejuvenation for parents, and a summer full of memories for their children.
 

The Imagine Campaign is dedicated to the everlasting memory of Rabbi Gershon Sabol ז"ל. Rabbi Sabol served on the board of directors of Yaldei Shluchei HaRebbe. He was a constant and untiring advocate for children with special needs and their families. His vision and inspiration inspire our unwavering efforts to support our Shluchim families and their special children.

Yaldei Shluchei HaRebbe, a division of Merkos L'inyonei Chinuch Suite 302 supports and assists Shluchim who are raising children with special needs, so the Shluchim can focus their energy on spreading the light of Torah and Yiddishkeit in their communities.

In addition to worrying about daily Shlichus operations on a shoe-string budget, many Shluchim and Shluchos are burdened by the enormous financial responsibilities associated with raising a child with special needs.
