OUR MISSION KIMPATORIN AID HELPS POST PARTUM WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND ENSURES THAT THEY ARE PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY READY TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF THEIR NEW BABY.
ב”ה
DEAR FRIENDS,
T
hirty eight years ago, my father, the revered Spinka Rebbe ,זצ”ל R’ Hershele Horowitz, entrusted us with a mission. I will never forget the concern in his eyes and the passion in his voice as he described its significance. My father’s door was always open and his genuine warmth made him the first address for individuals in distress. It was no wonder that parents struggling to keep their families afloat after the birth of a new child gravitated to R’ Hershele for comfort and support.
For most, those first few weeks were challenging, difficult, and stressful. For some, they were impossible. And my father asked us to answer their unspoken cries. Following that initial conversation, he followed up on a nearly daily basis, “what did you do for the kimpatorins today?” It’s has been almost four decades, and Kimpatorin Aid is still responding to the question. New mothers are given the help they need to regain proper strength after birth, so they have the presence of mind to be able to focus on their family. דער טאטע זצ"ל האט געוואונטשן "דער וואס העלפט ארויס "וועט האבן קינדער און זען נחת פון די קינדער

FEATURE STORY
GONE SWIMMIN The first few days had me questioning my sanity. After spending a week at home with a crying newborn and rambunctious toddler, the question marks turned into bold exclamation points. I was losing my mind.
The mornings were the hardest, and this overcast morning was no exception. After sending Leah’la and Ruchy off to school, I anticipated a few minutes of golden silence. Two-year-old Moishy seemed to think that was a luxury I could ill-afford. Cookies crumbled all across the floor. Milk spilling over the edge of the table because Moishy ‘wanna do it myself’. The contents of our toy closet decorating beds, windowsills, and stairs. 180 double-ply tissues fluttering everywhere with the empty Kleenex® box crowning Moishy’s head. And it wasn’t even 9:00 a.m. Baby Chaya didn’t think much of her brother’s antics. Her lusty cries bounced off the walls
...It took just five steps to reach the bathroom, and wonder of wonders. I was at the seashore!
NG and clanged harshly in my ears. The recliner beckoned and I allowed myself to sit… just for a moment. For a few blessed moments, I closed my eyes and blocked it all out. The crying, the mischief, the constant demands. They receded into the background as I tried to conjure up a relaxing scene. I could see myself standing at the seashore, calm and content. I heard the waters flowing…flowing…flowing… I was blessed with a vivid imagination but this soundtrack was just a tad too realistic. “Moishy!” I cried.
Flowing water was the only response. It took just five steps to reach the bathroom, and wonder of wonders. I was at the seashore! Water was lapping at my feet, at least three inches high, and it was cascading into the hallway faster than I could blink. My little captain was standing at the sink, gleefully taking his rubber ducky for a swim. Water was gushing out of the spout – cold water, thank goodness – and spilling over the sides. A few quick strides brought me to the sink. I twisted the knobs forcefully and then glared at Moishy with all the desperation, helplessness and exhaustion that had accumulated in the past few days. After pulling out the stack of tissues that had clogged the drain, I watched the water swirling down… down…down. And for a moment – a fleeting, desperate moment – I wished I could send Moishy swimming down after it.
It was not funny. At that point, nothing was funny. I was drowning, both literally and figuratively. Captain Moishy stared at me in horror as vulnerability leaked out of my eyes in twin streams. He toddled away, heading directly towards the bedroom where Chaya was still screaming. I caught up with him near Chaya’s crib. Moishy was peering through the slats at his little sister. He held her tiny fingers in his chubby grip and he was murmuring softly, much as I often did. “Shh…Moishy here. Shh…Moishy here. Moishy here.” His imitation was near-perfect and I grabbed him, soaking clothes and all, in a delicious hug. I was tired, I was overwhelmed…and I was immeasurably blessed. At that sublime moment I glimpsed the crown that I had been given time and again. It sparkles and glimmers above my head, engraved with a most unique and precious title: Mommy.
WHAT WE DO: KIMPATORIN AID SERVICES
HOUSEKEEPING Piles of laundry, sticky floors, overflowing sinks and counters… The clutter and dirt build up, especially when new mothers are dealing with complications. Housekeepers are dispatched to keep their homes running smoothly until they feel capable of facing the daily demands.
MEALS PROGRAM Newborn crying and menu planning do not work well together. For the first two weeks after birth, new mothers find it difficult— if not impossible—to feed their families with nourishing meals. Kimpatorin Aid Volunteers cook and deliver suppers to keep the family ship afloat.
AISHES CHAYIL & AIM B’YISROEL When a new mother can’t rest at home, Kimpatorin Aid sends her to a respite home. Women who had difficult births, mothers of large families, and others who need special care get nourishing meals and the relief of having a nursing staff to care for their babies.
CRIBS & STROLLERS NIGHTTIME NURSES Mothers of multiples learn that exhaustion has an entirely new definition when twins join the family. For as long as necessary, the services of a night nurse provide them with the greatest gift imaginable: A good night’s sleep.
Shocking, but true. Many parents cannot afford their newborn’s basic necessities. Kimpatorin Aid delivers cribs and baby carriages to homes that would have otherwise struggled in silence.
