Picture three homes in your neighborhood.

In one, Tatty has been in the hospital for two months. His eight-year-old eats supper at the neighbors' and stopped asking when he's coming home.

In the second, Mommy spends her nights at a hospital bedside in the city. Her eleven-year-old runs the house — supper, homework, little brothers.

In the third, a six-year-old knows her nurses' names better than her classmates'.

Three different homes.

One story: when illness enters a home, the children are suddenly JUMPING through life alone.

Boruch Hashem, there's Tantzers. The birthday party that shows up in the hardest week. The hospital visits every single week. The Family Center, open every night, where a kid whose house became a hospital gets supper, homework help, and two hours of simply being a kid.

The volunteers give the time and the heart. But the parties, the visits, and the Family Center cost real money — and that part is ours to carry. NOW, the Tantzers campaign is live: 36 hours to cover a year of showing up.

Don't watch from the seats. Be a Tantzer.

No child jumps alone.
