By Debra Markus, Yad Sarah Volunteer
A warm bright sunny January day was the perfect setting for heralding a dedication ceremony at Yad Sarah of a new ambulatory vehicle donated by the Weinstein family and friends.
Gail and David Weinstein
in the names of
Ruth and Joe Weinstein
Barbara and Phil Schaum
and Anne and Moish Weisberg from the USA.
The vehicle with wheelchair accessibility, can hold up to 4 wheelchairs and 6 passengers. It was decked out in red, white and blue ribbons and balloons outside the Yad Sarah building in Jerusalem in true joyous color.
This generous gift will provide transportation for those with disabilities and can be used to pick up injured passengers from airports, and rescue people stranded in a snowstorm. It transports people with limited mobility, giving them access to services and to the community they would otherwise be isolated from.
The dedication ceremony was led by Yad Sarah CEO Moshe Cohen who warmly welcomed the family, friends and volunteers. Present to enjoy the ceremony were David Weinstein and family and many of his friends and students. He a math teacher in a Yeshiva of some 95 students, some of whom came to support the event and whom he sees as future recruits for the Yad Sarah pool of volunteers.
The ceremony at Yad Sarah had a buffet to fill the stomach, a film of the work of Yad Sarah to fill the heart and the donation from this group of people that fills the soul and gives hope for those in need.
This vehicle is thus a most welcome addition to the Yad Sarah fleet of emergency vehicles. They are specially equipped vans that take wheelchair-bound elderly or disabled persons from their homes to medical appointments and social events. Yad Sarah's air-conditioned vans are fitted with hydraulic tail lifts, safety anchors, and two-way radios.
The professional drivers (many of them volunteers) are trained in working with people with disabilities. These vans give homebound people a chance to participate in life beyond their four walls and thus improve their quality of life enormously. The van service is what makes it possible, in many cases, for these people to remain at home, not in hospitals, and get to their medical treatments as needed. Rides, at a nominal charge, can be ordered 24 hours in advance.
This donation is very much in tune with the "Yiddishkeit" of this family and friends which David Weinstein praised in his speech recalling their years of charitable work. The gift offers help, support and assistance to those in need. Yad Sarah is truly a charitable organization that depends on its volunteers and on generous donations from good-hearted friends.
On behalf of Yad Sarah, and on behalf of all those who have used its services and will use its services in the future, THANK-YOU!
