Beyond
Beyond just an auction — A musical event!!! Monday, February 16, 2015 The Rennaisance – Montreal, Quebec
Dear Friends, Another year has passed since I last appealed to you from these pages. It’s been a year of watching families suffer and witnessing people fear for their lives. But it’s also been a year of watching shattered families rebuild, ailing parents gaining back the strength to care for their children, and the color returning to the cheeks of young children. Thanks to you, dear friends, the many stories that started with so much pain and hardship reached happy and healthy endings. And this brings me to what this year was really about: a year of genuine care and support for our fellow brothers in need. Through your generous support of Ezras Cholim, you’ve stood beside the cholim in our community as they struggled with the upheaval, confusion, and bureaucratic hurdles a medical diagnosis brings. Ezras Cholim has carried out your mandate to smooth the path to health for the ailing members of our community by providing cholim and their families with crucial services, including medical guidance and referrals, priority appointment scheduling, arrangements of technical logistics surrounding a patient’s hospital stay, and simply holding their hand and being there for them every step of the way. Our mission remains to lift every patient beyond their pain and suffering, to a place of menucha and health. Please join us in another year of helping, healing, and truly being there for those in our community desperate for our support.
Rabbi A. Hoffman
Medical Director, Ezras Cholim 2
HOW EZRAS CHOLIM TAKES PATIENTS BEYOND THEIR STRUGGLES... Ezras Cholim’s intervention starts with referrals, scheduling and technical coordination and evolves into a powerful network of support that impacts every member of the family. They serve as a source of strength and security to the overwhelmed parents, ensure that the patient receives top-notch medical care, and create a haven of serenity that the family can always depend on. Nothing is too difficult and no hour is too late when Ezras Cholim’s support is needed. No matter the time of day, they will be there to guide, reassure, and inject confidence that the patient is receiving the best possible medical care. Beyond each patient fighting for life, there’s a team at Ezras Cholim ensuring his win.

A few short sentences are all it takes to wreck a family’s peaceful existence. A string of words convey a medical diagnosis and comfortable routines are shattered, serene lives destroyed. Previously carefree days now carry dread and uncertainty – will it get worse today? – And wavering hope – maybe, maybe today will be better. Anxiety and indecision eat away at the parents. Who says the doctor is right? How can they be sure that his recommendations are indeed the best course of action? Technical hurdles chip away at their peace of mind and the strain of navigating an unfamiliar medical world takes its toll. Frightened children are consumed with worry for their sick brother, but there’s no one to address their fears and comfort them. As they struggle to adjust to a new reality, there’s no one to provide reassurance and tell them that it will be okay. Just one sick child in the family and every member is engulfed in pain. Because when there’s a patient in the family, no one remains unscathed.
