In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Aron Schoenfeld, founder of Smile for Kids, a grassroots Israeli charity dedicated to bringing joy, relief and emotional support to children facing trauma and hardship and illness
Aron shares how Smile for Kids began with a simple but powerful idea: no child should feel forgotten, especially in moments of vulnerability. What started as small gestures of kindness centred around giving kids candy while their parents were away fighting, has grown into a hands on initiative supporting hospitalised children, families under strain, and communities impacted by ongoing conflict. Through hospital visits, gifts, practical essentials and volunteer led outreach, the organisation focuses on restoring dignity and creating moments of light in very dark spaces and has raised over $1.5 million dollars in its first year of operations
We talk openly about the realities of running a charity focusing on kids in Israel during challenging times. Aron speaks about mobilising volunteers, responding quickly to emerging needs, and the emotional impact of meeting children and families who are navigating fear and uncertainty. What stands out throughout the conversation is his belief that impact does not always come from scale. It comes from presence, consistency and heart.
This episode is about more than charity. It is about stepping forward when others are hurting. It is about leadership through action. And it is about the ripple effect created when one person decides to bring a smile to a child who needs it most.
A powerful conversation filled with compassion, resilience and the reminder that even the smallest act of kindness can change someone’s world.
