Previous trips have been to Vancouver and Edmonton. The trip includes full case management support on site 24/7.
Orlando: A Penina’s Helping Hand Trip Funded by Jeremy Rubinoff Each year, Chai Lifeline Canada sends up to 20 kids to Disney World and Universal Studios in Orlando. This includes children who have a seriously ill parent or who have recently lost a parent. This trip takes the magic of Disney to the next level by providing incredible adventures, while children befriend others going through similar experiences. The trip includes full case management support on site 24/7. “Growing Up, my siblings and I could have desperately used Penina’s Helping Hand’s services. I started the charity, dedicating it in my mother’s memory, because I wanted to take my experience and use it to help others dealing with the same experience as I had.” – Jeremy Rubinoff

“I haven't seen them this excited in a long time. Thank you for showing them that life goes on and they can still have fun and enjoy. It is a much more valuable lesson learned through experience than words.”
