For a single parent with rapidly dwindling finances, it is unimaginable. 

  • How is it possible for a single mother to go to work every day while her sick child is in constant and urgent need?
  • How can a single father carry on his work, when all he wants to do is to make sure that everything possible is being done for his child?
  • How can single parents afford to give up their source of income and jeopardize their health insurance,
    and food on the table for their healthy children? 

Seventy-eight percent (78%) of families whose child is diagnosed with a critical illness will experience divorce or separation. 

The ordeal of a child’s grave illness tests these families far beyond their endurance, and they become bankrupt financially, emotionally and physically. [/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”6119″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” video_bg=”yes” video_bg_url=”” video_bg_parallax=”content-moving” enable_row_dividers=”yes” overlay_bg=”yes” fullpage_brightness=”dark” self_hosted_video_bg=”https://compassioncantwait.org/videos/Painting+Drawing.mp4″ row_svg_divider=”bottom_shape_type:waves-2|bottom_shape_color:%23ffffff|bottom_shape_height:49″][vc_column parallax=”yes” parallax_preset=”custom” parallax_trigger=”number” offset=”vc_col-md-offset-3 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-sm-offset-2″ parallax_from=”“opacity“: 0, “scale“: 0.25″ parallax_trigger_number=”0.7″ parallax_duration=”0%”][vc_empty_space height=”80px”][vc_column_text]“Hello!

With the hospital social workers help and the quick generosity of the Andre Sobel River of Life Foundation my family was able to survive a few more months. Words can never express how thankful we are for your foundations help. We had been asking for help from our own community and we were turned down by all of them for various financial reasons.Mrs. Sobel not only rescued us, she did so in a very short amount of time. She answered our prayers sooner than anyone else returned our call. Again thank you for everything!”
