Millions of Americans, of all ages and backgrounds, have been touched by cancer in one form or another. Nearly 10,000 children below the age of 15 are projected to be diagnosed with cancer this year, according to the American Cancer Society.

“There are sick kids, you know, no matter if they’re six months old, or six years old,” said Inna. “So we just want to make sure that kids who are healthy can give something to a child who’s not.”

There are a number of adult-run foundations, walkathons, and charity events that provide research, treatment, and care for cancer patients and their families. Inna and her daughters, however, were struck by how scarce the opportunities were for kids to show solidarity and compassion for other kids.

“There are different ways to take out a tumor. But they’re not always like fun. So we just wanted to bring happiness into their lives,” Gabriella told the students at Temple Hillel.

Inna noted that — despite a strong and understandable parental instinct to try and shield children from the harsher realities of life — kids prove surprisingly able to comprehend the difficulties of the world around them, and they want to make a difference. Especially when those realities become real and immediate.

Just ask Gabriella, who lost her grandmother and great-grandmother to pancreatic cancer.

“God really connected the cancer situation to me and to make me think about my family and other people’s family going through the same thing,” she said.

“We wanted to make sure that our students, upon heading into the holiday of Purim, where we enjoy gifts and give to others, that we make sure kids that are sick will have some way to have a little joy,” said Itty Goldshmid, the Hebrew School’s program director. “We can do that today thanks to what these two girls are doing.”

While the beaded bracelets are meant to brighten and uplift kids undergoing a great deal of suffering and pain, Goldshmid noted that it also helps the kids who make the bracelets develop deeper compassion.

Just give kids an outlet to express compassion, and they’ll express it, she noted — one threaded bead at a time.
