Good afternoon. We're standing in the
brand new headquarters of Flapush right
here in the heart of the Flappish
community. I'm here with my good friend
Svi Wild, one of the co-founders of
Flappish. Suvi, in a nutshell, what do
we got going on here? We got a lot going
on here. Uh, basically Flappish had a
void that needed to be filled.
Basically, uh, people need medical
equipment in Flapush, and we were
relying on many different communities to
get it. Uh, we decided we started slow
with just wheelchairs and walkers and,
uh, boilers, stuff like that. And we've
grown into basically anything anything
at all that anyone in Flatbush would
need medically uh medical equipment. We
have a full team of over a 100
volunteers that would deliver it to your
door and pick it up when we're finished
with it. We also have a different part
of this organization which is home
healthcare on a case- by case basis. Uh
but basically what we did was we turned
to Flab and said there's something
missing here and we filled that void.
>> Amazing. Good to note that they're
running their first campaign next week
right before Shana. uh is sure to be a
tremendous success. They're going to be
reaching out to the entire community,
both the Ashkanazim and the Faradim.
They really help everybody in this
neighborhood. This organization was
started in Flatbush for Flatbush. Tell
me a little bit about the campaign. The
>> campaign is very simple. We've been
spending the we we're doing this for
about 2 and a half years. We spend
hundreds of thousand dollars on
equipment. We keep replacing equipment,
updating equipment, um buying new
equipment that that's needed as we go.
And basically, we rely on the community
and we're just reaching out to the
community and saying, "Hey, this is what
we do. We certainly have done something
for your neighbor, a family, friend or
or even for you and we're just asking
for some support in return at this
point.
>> Amazing. Keep up the great work. Looking
forward to a great campaign. Look out
for more promo videos to come and uh it
should be very successful. Thank you.
Thank you.
