A Chesed Is Forever

Simcha Greenbaum (all names have been changed) was one of those special neshamos that Hashem brings down to This World for the benefit of all of us.

A few weeks ago, Simcha Greenbaum, a challenged individual who never uttered a word of lashon hara, left This World. Simcha had lived for many years with his mother on the Lower East Side, but as his mother aged, it became more of a challenge for her to properly care for her beloved son.

There are a number of chesed organizations that provide group homes where these special neshamos are lovingly and warmly cared for. However, spaces are limited and it is difficult to accommodate all who need.

Simcha’s immediate family reached out to their relatives to see if anyone could assist in finding him a residential home, and were told of a new residential home about to open. A local shul was selling its adjoining building to the chesed organization. However, no one knew anyone at the organization.
