A family in crisis is experiencing a variety of difficulties. Some of the difficulties are economic and social and some of them belong to the feeling of loneliness of the patient and the family. A crisis situation requires almost immediately the investment of financial resources beyond what currently exists in the family budget.

And the pit is deepening and threatening to swallow the family. No man is happy to be needed. The State of Israel is a welfare state, and therefore the law establishes many and varied rights of a person in various types of disease crises.
