To whom this may concern,
My name is ___ ______ and I am a proud recipient of AHH’s kindness and generosity. To most people to use the word proud in the context of receiving “charity” would be an inherent contradiction. I agree with those people. What they don’t understand though is that the manner in which AHH was set up and the way they go about accomplishing their goals is the farthest thing from “charity”. If someone from your family was going through a rough patch in their lives and you offered to help them, financially or emotionally, no one in their right mind would call that charity. The recipient of that assistance understands that this was given out of love and comes with no conditions, expectations, or reciprocation. This is what AHH has built. AHH gives themselves over, as a family would, to people that have gone through some of the worst experiences that no one should ever have to experience. The support that AHH lends to us is done with the utmost sensitivity, compassion, empathy, and passion. And in my opinion what speaks to the integrity of AHH is the fact that you don’t see advertisements everywhere proclaiming the good work you do and that sort. You are just there to help and then walk away quietly without pomp or fanfare. That means so much to me and it is beyond comprehension.
A simple thank you for the kindness that you have shown seems inadequate but unfortunately we are bound to the simple words that we were given to express our gratitude. I remember a quick story that a doctor that I am close with once told me. He went to a conference that he was invited to for a drug that he was recently introduced to and to discuss how the medication was received by his patients. The speaker before him spoke for over two hours and completely lost the audience. The doctor told me that if he were in the audience he would probably not want to hear another speaker either so what was he supposed to say? He got up and said the following “This medication works. Your patients won’t call you up in the middle of the night complaining. It is fantastic. Thank you for your time” and he sat down. He received a standing ovation.
Gentleman – what AHH does works. It is a fantastic organization and I appreciate everything you have done for me. Thank you.
Sincerely,
A__
To all of the amazing people who are working for Avigdor’s Helping Hand, ad meah v’esrim shanna
I wanted to say a really big thank you and a yashar koach for the major assistance that you gave me.
Three years ago, my husband passed away. It was a total shock to us. Four years before that he had a stroke but b’chasdei HaShem it did not effect his speech and he was able to walk beautifully and continue his Torah learning which he loved so very much. But one Shabbos, in the middle of June, we went to the hospital and on Wed, early in the morning he passed away. A person is never prepared to say good bye, even when a loved one is sick. And he was not. He was fine. To our complete shock, he needed to have an open heart surgery. He came out of it. We were talking and he even sat up in bed. They removed his breathing tube and mentally I was already bringing him home, trying to figure out which agency I should call to have a nurse who could come by everyday for a quick visit to monitor his recovery and take his vital signs. Well, it was not to be. We were devastated. Heart broken. The past three years have been difficult.
Three and a half months ago, my daughter became a kallah. I am sure you can imagine the simcha. I was told to contact you and right away I applied for financial assistance. Your assistance was quick to come and it was done with utmost respect and sensitivity. Thank you. Thank you. I was able to purchase the necessary items that my daughter needed with menucha. I want to say a big thank you for all that you do. For all the time and the effort and the koach that I know you put into each situation. My bracha to you is that HaShem should bless you and your families with all that is good. Health, nachas, shalom and Parnassa until 120 and may sasson v’simcha always come your way.Mazal Tov.
