RUN 24.7

Sadly as most of you probably know, we unfortunately lost my dad a few months ago after a long battle of illness. We spent many months in the hospital with him while he was fighting so hard. While we still miss him too much and are trying to get through this hard time, we never forget those who helped us get through the journey. It was such a difficult and unimaginable time for our family, but there was one very special organization that made daily life in the hospital more bearable and helped us get through each day. That organization was — Chesed 24/7. It’s the true definition of pure kindness. The organization is built of selfless individuals who do everything in their power to make life in the hospital easier for patients and their families. Just a few of the amazing things they do in hospitals across America include: Keeping a fully stocked Bikkur Cholim room in the hospital with kosher food and drinks, providing families with apartments near the hospital so they can visit their loved ones on shabbat, sending volunteers to visit and see how everyone is doing, and so much more! I experienced first hand last year what they do day in and day out, and I can honestly say I really don’t know what we would have done without them. I WAS ABLE TO SPEND SO MANY SHABBATS IN THE CITY HOSPITAL WITH MY DAD, solely because Chesed 24/7 gave us an apartment to stay at next to the hospital. I could never thank them enough. This is my chance to give back! So please please help me raise money so they can continue doing what they’re doing more and more everyday! I am raising this Tzedakkah L’iluy Nishmat my amazing dad ‘Benyamin ben Mordechai’. May his neshama have the highest Aliyah in shamayim!

On March 2nd, I’ll be participating in RUN 24.7, the exhilarating Chesed 24/7 5K Walk-Run-Raise - and I’m hoping you’ll be my sponsor. Chesed 24/7 is an incredible organization. They operate Chesed hospitality rooms that are a lifeline to patients and their loved ones. It’ll mean so much to me to have your support as I make my way through 5K of track, in the American Dream Mall.

Before you choose how much to donate, I ask you to think of someone you know who is or was in the hospital. Think of what the Chesed room means to them. With your donation, you’ll be ensuring that thousands of patients have the meals, coffee, snacks, and other essentials they count on, from Shabbos candles to Seder plates! Please join me as a I walk, run or raise. Together, we’ll Keep the Rooms Running.
