Elderly and Disability Services
Brooklyn, NY, USA
V’Hodarto Homebound Chesed, based in Brooklyn, New York, is a chesed organization dedicated to providing free, respectful, and reliable transportation for homebound individuals, particularly the elderly and those with mobility challenges. The organization ensures that these individuals can attend doctor appointments, family simchos, and community events with dignity and ease. Utilizing specialized vehicles and trained staff, V’Hodarto addresses the logistical and emotional challenges faced by families caring for homebound relatives.
Originally established as Rodeph Chesed in 2000, the organization was restructured and expanded under the name V’Hodarto in late 2022. The new leadership broadened its mission to encompass a wider range of services for the homebound population. The organization operates with a fleet of accessible vehicles and a dedicated team that provides thousands of rides annually, ensuring that patients receive not only transportation but also companionship and support.
V’Hodarto's services have had a profound impact on the lives of many, including Holocaust survivors and individuals who had been confined to their homes for years. Through their efforts, these individuals have been able to reconnect with the community, attend significant life events, and regain a sense of independence and dignity. The organization's commitment to chesed and community support exemplifies the values of compassion and care within the Orthodox Jewish community.
