A FAMILY'S WORLD CHANGES WHEN FACED WITH THE URGENT MEDICAL NEEDS OF A LOVED ONE.


“Our journey started the day that Daniel (of blessed memory) was diagnosed with leukemia. He was 13 years old and had a desire to live. Suddenly our whole family was catapulted into a life full of doctors, nurses, and medical tests; a few days before, our life was filled with soccer games, and baseball tournaments.”


–BERTA, DANIEL’S MOTHER


“To be able to bring comfort; to be present for those in need is the highest calling in the Jewish tradition. The Daniel Connection provides a Makom – a space – in which we all may become care givers and sharers of heart and soul.”


– RABBI DAVID PASKIN
