A Wish Come True

A nyone who knows Shimi Gesheid the CEO of Rachshei Lev established in 1989 as a national support center for children with cancer and their families knows he leaves no stone unturned to make a wish come true.

Fourteen-year-old Emilee Amber of Modiin can testify to that. Born weighing only 1 pound and 12 ounces she was diagnosed in the first grade with a rare form of cancer. Since then she has undergone chemotherapy a bone marrow transplant and other treatments overseas to battle the aggressive disease.

Emilee’s hobby is to be photographed with famous people something the well-connected Gesheid has often been able to oblige. Just recently Gesheid facilitated Emilee’s “photo op” with Prime Minister Netanyahu and his wife Sara.
