Tomorrow, Crown Heights comes together to support families facing illness and crisis through the Annual APPHEAL of Bikur Cholim Crown Heights. This initiative strengthens the care that so many neighbors rely on during their most vulnerable moments.

Crisis disrupts every part of life. A parent may suddenly need to be in the hospital. A child may require ongoing treatment. A family may be managing overwhelming emotional strain. These situations can change daily routines, financial stability, and the emotional balance of a home. In these moments, Bikur Cholim provides practical support with warmth and discretion.

The APPHEAL reflects the essence of this work. It is a time when generosity from the community is applied directly to healing. Support becomes meals that allow a family to stay focused on treatment. It becomes transportation to appointments. It becomes childcare that keeps a home functioning. It becomes therapy, psychiatric care, home assistance, and the steady presence of volunteers who understand what families are experiencing.

The help is not theoretical. It is immediate, thoughtful, and personal. Volunteers respond at all hours. They coordinate logistics, deliver items, support caregivers, and bring calm into situations that feel uncertain. Their dedication allows Bikur Cholim to reach families with exceptional efficiency.

As needs in the community grow, the Annual APPHEAL ensures that Bikur Cholim can continue to respond with dignity and care. Families should never have to choose between medical responsibilities and maintaining stability at home. They should never feel alone while navigating illness.

Tomorrow, the community has the opportunity to strengthen this lifeline. Every act of generosity is a statement of responsibility for one another and a reflection of the values that define Crown Heights.

Bikur Cholim Crown Heights invites you to join the APPHEAL and help apply care where it is needed most.

In 5748-1988, Bikur Cholim of Crown Heights was renamed, with the Rebbe’s blessing, to carry the Rebbetzin’s name. Today, the Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Bikur Cholim of Crown Heights carries not just her name, but her legacy. Her legacy of compassion continues through the work of Bikur Cholim, which serves as a vital support system for families in our community facing medical challenges.

Let’s carry her legacy forward.
