Mets former pitcher Nelson Figueroa does more than just give back

Chai Lifeline is an amazing organization whose motto is to “treat illness with kindness.” They work to help children with cancer or other life-threatening illnesses such as Muscular Dystrophy fight these diseases while providing them with experiences they otherwise would not be able to have.

Their range of helping varies from crisis intervention to hospital services to family weekend retreats and so much more. They even have their own summer camp, Camp Simcha, which is completely tailored to the needs of children, allowing them to have a summer camp experience they normally wouldn’t be able to have.
