[music] During co the goal [music] at the time was if you can keep somebody out of the hospital their chance of living was that much more. Uh we contacted Hatuto Solo and we [music] came up with this concept deliver people oxygen at home so that they don't have to go to the hospital. >> I said a flat push is such a unique opportunity [music] to help all the families in our community. When Hatzelah takes a patient to a hospital, whether it's your grandfather, your mother, your father, [music] your child, yourself, you come home and very often you're very weak. You need services in the house and you [music] absolutely need help. Until started, there was a huge void in the community. People contact [music] us out of care and they need medical services like hospital beds, oxygen concentrators, [music] wheelchairs. The only one-stop shop is >> throughout our community far and wide. Anyone that needs a piece [music] of medical equipment, of course, wheelchairs, crutches, and every other [music] device that you could imagine, they have. Um, we have a brand new facility now that we just moved into on Cornell Avenue and Avenue [music] I. This was designed as almost an eightcar parking lot in the back. Members can just [music] pull right in, load their car, load their van, and go. There's always someone [music] there to answer the call. Whether it's 2:00 in the morning or 2:00 in the afternoon, it's it's in our blood. It's for Flatbush. It's by Flatbush [music] and we're just here to help you. >> When my husband was really sick and we knew it was coming towards the [music] end, we wanted to be home and de Flapbush really allowed that to happen. I made one phone call and everything was brought to the house from medical supplies, [music] the hospital bed, oxygen compressor, IVs, blood work, whatever we needed, they took care of. They made my husband laugh [music] a lot. Me, they made me laugh, smile when things were not, there's not much to smile about. It was very encouraging really. [music] And because of we were home for PES, the last pes of his life. I know personally I had surgery on my shoulder back [music] in April. Within an hour and a half they delivered a reclining chair to my home. I was able to sleep in [music] a recliner for 2 weeks and 2 weeks later I called them up. They picked it up. They took [music] it back. We come home from the hospital. We're lost. We don't know what we need in the house. Our parent, our grandparent, we absolutely [music] uh don't know what to do. They can give you everything you need to take care of [music] your loved one in your own home. >> We are making tremendous changes in people's lives. Whereas in the past, if someone didn't have a piece of equipment, they just had to live without it. We [music] send out equipment in mint condition. Sometimes it doesn't come back that way. Not to the person's fault, but usage. When something gets used, [music] walkers, knee scooters, there's a lot of wear and tear, and we're not going to give something out to somebody else that is stained, that is wobbly, [music] that is not working 100%. Anything is needed for any client anytime 24/7 Flatbush [music] is there. Even up until Shabbat, they're there to get you the needs that you need [music] right away. There's no better service in our community today than Flatbush. [music] Whether you heard of us or you didn't hear of us, I guarantee you that a family [music] member or a neighbor or someone you know has used our services. Supported [music] Flatbush. I am going to give them my full support. I'm going to give them my financial support. I believe what they are doing is incredible. We need [music] them. >> This is a Flatbush organization and we are reaching out to let you know that we [music] are here for you, but we need you to be here for us as well.
