Chesed of Flatbush - Promo Video

Flappers is an amazing organization. Personally, I had surgery back in April and I came home and the first night was unbearable. I could not sleep at all. I made one phone call. Within 1 hour, a recliner was at my door with two amazing guys that carried it straight to my room, set it up, and made it feasible for me to be able to sleep. When the guys delivered the chair, they were amazing. All they did was bring it into the house, asked me exactly where I wanted to put it, moved furniture around for me, made everything so comfortable with a smile. It was an amazing service that I was just blown away. What's amazing about Flapbush is how it began. Just 5 years ago uh co time Flapbush took the initiative bought 300 oxygen concentrators that were set up in people's homes with proper prescriptions. They were taken care of in their own home and from there it morphed into an amazing gumach where every single item that you would need in your home to take care of your loved one can be delivered to your doorstep. As a hot salam member we have 75 calls a day in Flapbush. They are lost. When they come home, they are in pain and they don't know where to turn. With one phone call, they can call a Flatbush and anything they need medically oriented for their home to make them comfortable in their house will be delivered to their doorstep. The medical inventory that they carry in their warehouse is amazing. everything you need for your home. Whether it's a wheelchair, a walker, whether it's a cane, bar is for your bed so you can not fall out. Bar in the shower, whether it's a shower chair, anything. They will speak to you, ask you what your needs are, and deliver everything to you within the hour. We currently have over a million dollars in inventory. We just passed 8,000 deliveries in in a little over 3 years. When I look at the community and everyone here tonight, I see people who have not doubled down, who have tripled down on Flapush between the schools, the shs, the homes, everyone is here to stay. Flapush has quadrupled down. We are here to stay. We are here for the community. We are here for anything this community needs to make life easier for them, we are going to do. If there's something we don't have, we will get it. If we get two calls about something we don't have, the third call we will have it already. I remember one specific story. When my dad was not well before Flowbush was around, I needed to get a hospital bed from Burough Park. I had to get an air mattress from Williamsburg. I had to get other items from Crown Heights. Everything came from all over Brooklyn. I had no idea where to return it all to. Today, we make one phone call and everything is delivered to your doorstep. Everything is housed in a new facility that we moved in in May. It's Avenue I and Coney Island Avenue. central location with the parking in the back so our members could just pull in uh park their vehicles, load up and head out. Aside for the medical equipment, we do have a full team of nurses, nurse practitioners and PAs that by case by case basis will visit the home and make sure people are set up properly. In many, many cases, unfortunately, people are sent home where the hospital cannot do anything for them. Instead of them suffering or dealing with their illness outside of the home, we will make sure that they're in the comfort of their home and we will send the nurse twice a day, morning, evening, just to make sure everything is okay. Our phone number is 24/7. Anyone who needs our service, one phone call, no questions asked, we will come to the house with care. We've been in many homes where there wasn't much to smile about, but we do bring a smile to their face, and that's what we're all about. We're all about just making life easier on the family as well as the patient. Flapish is run by Wild Yehuda X team. Two amazing people that took this initiative and took it to a whole new level. They are Flappish members. Their dedication to our entire community goes beyond anything that anyone can think of. And we are so indebted to them for everything they do cuz they really do help take care of our families at home where people belong. The feedback that we get is worth this entire organization. People call back literally crying that there's an organization out there that cares for their loved ones and cares for them and made life easy. The letters that we get when people see our jackets and they stop us and they say, "Oh, my family member used you. We've been funding this by ourselves, piecing it together in the community, um we don't charge anyone for this service." So, we're basically reaching out to the community and saying, "We have set this up. We have done all the ground work, all the leg work. We've proven ourselves. We just need that financial burden taken off of our shoulders. We need that help from all of you. It's events like this tonight that we rely on to continue to build the organization uh and and make life easier on everyone here.
