Campaign Story

Anyone who reads the following story may need a box of tissues nearby. If this doesn’t pull at your heart strings, nothing will. This is a very sad story of a great man that has come upon a rough time in his life with tremendous suffering.

Azriel Gosie is suffering from severe diabetes and as a result he had a leg amputation. Most of his day is spent in a wheelchair. He lives alone in a subsidized apartment that is not handicap accessible. Due to a history of falling and a fear of falling in the future, he is forced to shower outdoors with a rubber hose. The same issue arises for regular bathroom use which is also done outdoors to avoid falling. Another issue is that he fears going to sleep at night because there is no one there to help him in case of emergency.

One of his worst experiences was a major blackout that he had this winter. Because of the frigid temperatures, he almost froze to death chas v’shalom.

His current living conditions are unbearable and inhuman. He is entitled to a live in aide, but he can’t request one because he doesn’t have a room for the aide that is required by government law.

Funds are desperately needed to make a home for him that is handicap accessible so he can once again live like a human with his dignity. Azriel spent most of his life helping Klal Yisroel and now he needs our help. Please open your heart and help this very special Yid! Let’s take achrayus and help our Yiddish brother.
