As we grow older, we normally rely on family to help us go to the doctor, to show the homecare aide that “someone is watching,” to ensure that we have food when it’s snowing outside, to help us get resettled upon returning home from a rehab stay, and to make sure that the building super fixes the leaky sink or sends the exterminator. These things keep us healthy and safe at home. But not everyone is lucky enough to have family!
Do you know a Holocaust Survivor in Brooklyn who doesn’t have involved family nearby? Someone who couldn’t have children, or whose children all live far away and can’t visit to help out? Do you have neighbors who never have visitors coming in and out of their homes? Do you have customers who seem all alone? Do you know Survivors who never get visitors in their assisted living facility or nursing home? Please be our partners and let us know!
Project Lev, a division of Project for Holocaust Survivors at Bikur Cholim Chesed Organization, was founded in 2009 to give Survivors without family a regularly visiting social worker who is part-niece, advocate and counselor – for free! Project Lev social workers currently have regular contact with over 60 Holocaust Survivors without children or involved family, who have been referred by friends, neighbors, doctors, and out-of-town relatives.
Please help us help them! If you are concerned about an isolated Holocaust Survivor in Brooklyn and would like to find out more about Project Lev, please call Elisa Stern, LCSW, Program Director, at (718) 438-2020, ext. 7422. Project Lev is funded by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany.
