Cancer Research

Inna Vernov, NY - Passover 2023

Cancer impacted my and my husband family a few times. We have lost my (Inna) grandmother and my husband (Henry Igor) mom to pancreatic cancer. As a family we did a lot of walks and always tried to be involved as much as we can by donating to cancer organizations and research Naturally the girls have picked up on that and the last 3 summers they would sell homemade lemonade (Henry Igor) made and Brownies (Inna) made They donated each dollar to different cancer organizations

November 2022 Sarina received a gift for her 9th birthday on clay beads. They started to make the bracelets, they made a lot and said to us, Mom Dad can we donate these to sick kids battling cancer? That's how we stared with Bracelets. January 2023 the kids put together their mission statement, logo, photographed bracelets and launched the website.

I think the most important aspect of their mission is that they want to evolve and include other kids To teach that there are others who are very sick in the hospital, and we are here to really help by brightening their day one bracelet at a time Girls were able to do quite a few bracelets events and they teach the kids that what we are doing is a big deal, its a big Mitzvah and it will make a little boy or a girl so happy. They tell the kids that these kids are different they might have lost their hair, and we need to support them and not make fun. As a parent to us, to know that kids want to help others and educate at the same time is the biggest achievement.

They also ask kids to be their ambassadors. Someone who can draw a picture which their include on a post card with every bracelet delivery.

The girls were able to donate to hospitals in US and 2 Hospitals in Israel. They are also involved with a lot of care package organizations that put together gift to pediatric cancer children all over US.

Bracelet purchase can be done on the website, with each bracelet sold, they will make 3 more bracelets for children battling cancer

Donations are always welcome

We are non a non-profit yet as it requires a large financial commitment, but the girls are working and putting money aside to achieve the goal and become a non-profit!
