Ethan Kadish

Family and friends of Ethan S Kadish are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with a Catastrophic Injury. The Kadish Family has chosen to fundraise with Help Hope Live in part because donations are tax deductible for contributors and will only be used to cover medical and related expenses.

On June 29, 2013, at URJ-Goldman Union Camp Institute, a summer camp near Indianapolis, a sudden burst of lightning struck on the athletic field where Ethan was out enjoying some Ultimate Frisbee with other campers. Everything changed for Ethan in that one moment. He was taken in critical condition to the local Children’s Hospital, where the doctors and nurses worked around the clock to stabilize him and assess his injuries. 

Ethan suffered a severe brain injury as a result of his injuries. It costs over $100,000 each year to support Ethan’s uninsured medical expenses. Costs include copays and deductibles associated with three health insurance policies; caregiving costs, and nursing care; and a myriad of therapies to help him re-establish basic functions within his brain. 

Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to Help Hope Live in honor of our son Ethan to ensure that he gets the best care available so that he can keep making progress. 

All contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law and are held by Help Hope Live in the Great Lakes Catastrophic Injury Fund. They are administered by Help Hope Live for injury-related expenses only.

Stay Strong,

Alexia and Scott Kadish
