Transportation? It\u2019s about getting from here to there, isn\u2019t it? But at Ezer Mizion, it becomes something so much more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Ezer Mizion ambulance driver engages his client in conversation and hears that the wife is hospitalized. \u201cShe\u2019s so lonely,\u201d he confides. \u201cNo problem. Instead of taking you home, I\u2019ll bring you to visit her, wait until you\u2019re done and then bring you home.\u201d  The elderly man was so grateful but the sensitive driver could see that there was still something bothering him. \u201cWhat is it? Tell me. Maybe I can help.\u201d The man kept silent but the driver persisted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nothing. Just that\u2026just that\u2026just that I want to bring her a gift. I have it all prepared at home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s easy to fix. I\u2019ll take you home. We\u2019ll get the gift. Then I\u2019ll bring you to the hospital and wait for you. Then we\u2019ll go home.\u201d An extra couple of hours tacked onto what is certainly a busy schedule but when someone really cares, the time means nothing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Ezer Mizion driver is bringing a newly released cancer patient home to await the end. A casual comment about a scenic view resulted in an unscheduled stop to enjoy a favorite spot. A bit of sunshine amid the black cloud of life coming to an untimely culmination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A regular Talmud study session with a client going for treatment. He didn\u2019t want his wife to know about the disease and so he told her he was going out to learn. His driver suggested that they actually do so and treatment days became the highlight of his week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this week a little disabled boy wants desperately to attend his class Purim party. His woebegone face prompted his mother to call Ezer Mizion. Even though Ezer Mizion had already done so much, she knew she\u2019d receive a friendly, caring response and, if all possible, her son would have his wish. She could almost see the smile on the face of the person who answered the phone. It seems as if I was doing them a favor by asking, she thought to herself. It was a go! Her son would attend together with his classmates. He\u2019d be part of things like everyone else. But even she was not prepared for usually familiar sight of the ambulance that would take him from here to there.  She glanced inside and couldn\u2019t help grinning. Her son\u2019s face lit up with joy. Purim permeated the normally austere interior of the ambulance. It was everywhere. When there\u2019s love and caring, no effort is too much. That is Ezer Mizion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
