testimonials
I woke up from surgery in Sunnybrook and awoke to find your note on my table. Thank you for providing Shabbos Licht It is difficult to express how what a difference this made to my comfort level. It had been a frightening time and this “bit of home†was very nurturing.
Up until my mother`s last months at home, she so much enjoyed the senior club – the general program, the outings, the delicious lunches, shared by old friends and new ones. She especially appreciated the phone call every week, inviting and encouraging her to come.
Thank you for making the Shabbos apartment available to us. Being able to visit my husband and be near him on Shabbos helped in easing our hearts at this traumatic time in our lives.
Now that  Dovid has completed his addiction rehab program and is back home, we wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and the whole Bikur Cholim team for all you have done for us. You were then, and continue today, to be a source of comfort by providing kosher food during those stressful times.
