Daily medical procedures take enormous courage from a child. Injections, dressing changes, examinations and other difficult moments become part of everyday life.

After a procedure, a child can choose a small gift from the “Bravery Box”. It might be a toy, a book or a craft kit. It also shows them that their courage has been noticed and supported.

The project currently runs at two medical centres in Israel:

• Soroka (Be’er Sheva): gastroenterology department
• Hadassah Ein Kerem (Jerusalem): bone marrow transplant department

Support the “Bravery Box” project:

• a regular monthly donation (link)
• a one-off donation (link)

We know that these small acts of kindness do not take away the pain. But they can help a child get through a difficult day with a smile and feel that there are people who care about their feelings.
