Shmeichel needs no introduction. What began as a pipe dream to fill the entertainment needs of bedridden children has in only eight short years evolved into a flourishing network of kindness.

Our goal is to be a supportive force on the long journey to recovery. We work tirelessly to cheer and uplift the spirits of patients and their families, thereby providing them with strength and willpower to brave their challenges and overcome their illnesses.

Today Shmeichel, a non-profit organisation, is presently staffed by over 70 men and women, all volunteers who are selflessly committed to furthering Shmeichels goals. They are enriching the lives of over 600 children and adults suffering the debilitating effects of serious and long term medical conditions.

Besides the obvious humanitarian benefits, doctors support and commend our program because it strengthens the resolve to live and fight disease, thus prolonging life.

Everyday our volunteers work tirelessly to bring about big smiles to those that have so little to smile about.

With our strong mission of spreading hope and joy, we provide a range of free and confidential services to hospitalized and home-bound people and their families. Our volunteers have exponentially increased in an effort to effectively administer our new programs as well as keep pace with our organisations growing demand within the community.

With your generous support we will be able to continue reaching out to the many individuals who so desperately need our services. Do become our partners in continuing our mission of lighting the load of people and families who have been stricken, and need our support to enable them to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

You helped lighten the situation when my Chaim was so ill; we saw his first smile in weeks when you visited him.

We see such a change in the patients after you leave; it even helps them respond better to treatment.
