To a child, a birthday party is everything. In addition to eating their favorite desserts, opening a mountain of presents, and playing fun games, the birthday girl or boy delights in being the center of attention, surrounded by friends and family who are there solely to shower them with love and affection. At ALEH, we have always believed that everyone deserves a proper birthday celebration and routinely pull out all the stops to provide our residents with truly memorable experiences. We also realize that birthday festivities take on a new level of importance during this lengthy lockdown, as it is impossible for the residents’ family and friends to attend in person, so it is up to our ALEH staff to fill the void. And that’s just what our dedicated ALEH staff did for Avigayil, a resident at our residential and rehabilitative center in Bnei Brak. After decorating Avigayil’s wheelchair with balloons and crowning her the birthday queen, they sang and danced until a smile was plastered on Avigayil’s face. The merriment was followed by interactive games and the presentation of a beautiful birthday cake. Birthdays are a celebration of life, growth and resilience, and it is our privilege to honor our precious ALEH residents on their special days and revel in their ever-enhanced abilities year after year. Here’s to many more happy and healthy birthdays! PLEASE DONATE to our Emergency Campaign: https://aleh.org/donation/covid-19-em... Learn more about ALEH: https://ALEH.org
