Chesed 24/7 - Abady Family Spotlight Video

my mother was in the hospital for 11 weeks it puts a tremendous stress on everyone in the family extended family every day has new hurdles and new challenges and we were in Mount Sinai and when you're in that hospital and you know you're isolated there and you want someone to be there all day and you want to be there there's tremendous stress that a person goes through all day when they when they're sitting in the hospital and it was at that time that you know when my mother was aditt to the hospital we were introduced to 24/7 all that they do for the patients but all that they do for the patients and their families it's something that cannot be easily described the types of you know things that you don't want to be dealing with they take care of and that's really the biggest Comfort spending Shabbat away from your family is a tremendous stress and something that you don't necessarily in the beginning it was very fearful 24/7 takes all that fear that you have going into it and by the third Shabbat you feel Comfort the second Shabbat even you feel comforted knowing that they're there there's certain things you don't have to worry about you don't have to worry about the food you don't have to worry about theala you don't have to worry about the K you don't have to worry about the kala you don't have to worry about the rooms where you're sleeping that have room Apartments to stay in 24/7 took care of all the little things and really brought tremendous Comfort to me and to all my family members who who use the room they help in every single way there's people from the organization that come and they check on you I'm in the ICU sitting upstairs they're sending social workers and people coming to visit my mother from 24/7 just to see how we're doing how she's doing three meals a day kosher food and and above and beyond snacks coffee mat ball soup you know whatever you need they really go above and beyond to where everything is taken care of I remember I met a guy in the room in theed room I started a conversation with the guy and at the end of the conversation I just ended it like I ended all the conversations I was having I said whoever you're visiting he go what do you mean my wife had a baby that's why he's here and and it kind of brought the the S back to my Shabbat to know that not everyone's going through what you're going through and there's also people there for good reasons and they're helping those people too it's so hard in a 1 minute 2 minutes to put it into perspective what they do because more than the action it's just the feeling of how they do it they really do it with tremendous love the room is just one small aspect of a larger picture that they do and in every way that they could help they do [Music]
