Our Mission

About Our Founder

Dr. Philip Abramowitz A”H, was director of the Bikur Cholim for several decades and dedicated his life to helping the sick and needy. He spent hours upon hours speaking to people, listening to their troubles, feeling their pain and helping them in every way possible. He would help individuals find the right medical treatments, pair them with the top doctors in their fields, get them admitted to hospitals, and raise money to pay for their medical expenses. His love for his fellow Jew was unsurpassed, and even in his final months, while undergoing painful chemotherapy and other treatments, Dr. Phil (as he was lovingly known to all) continued to find new ways to help the community. He recognized that there was a tremendous need for an organization committed to providing funds for the “minor,” everyday expenses of needy families. To this end, he began the process of incorporating Chesed Help & Hope, an agency which would serve just this purpose. Unfortunately, Dr Phil passed away before his mission was completed. Now, just a short time after his passing, his family is continuing his unfinished work, L’ilui Nishmaso.

Who is Chesed Help & Hope and What is Our Mission

Chesed Help & Hope is an organization dedicated to helping impoverished families or individuals who are faced with the challenge of unexpected expenses that crop up on a daily basis. Imagine the pain of a parent who can’t fix the air conditioning in the stifling summer heat, or the widow who doesn’t have the money to fix the oven on Erev Yom Tov. While many of us don’t have to think twice when something like this happens, for these people, these everyday scenarios are virtual nightmares. That’s when Chesed Help & Hope steps in. We help these individuals pay for the bills associated with countless household repairs, such as broken appliances, boilers, plumbing, eletrical issues, etc. Dr. Phil understood that there is no measure to the joy and relief generosity brings to the lives of our less fortunate brothers and sisters. By being there for them in the challenges they face in their day-to-day lives, we give them more than monetary support - we give them the strength to keep going. We ask you to please consider making a meaningful contribution to Chesed Help & Hope, as we receive numerous calls daily, and require financial backing in order to meet all of their pressing needs. 100% of the money that you donate will be used for the direct benefit of those in need.
