Thank You letter to Shmira coordinator

Subject: Shmira came to my house this morning

Hey Yossi,

I left the door to my house wide open!

My older sister who has Downs Syndrome has been visiting with me for a week. she was scheduled to leave from Newark yesterday and when we drove down from the Monsey area – we could not find the airport… it was like it was hiding so my sister could stay an extra day… so I re-scheduled her and the only flight they would give me without charging another full fare was 6:15 this morning. I was determined to get her there on time, but I still wanted a few hours sleep so we left the house at 4:15. She takes extra time at both check in and security. Two hours was definitely doable but I knew I had to stay focused to get everything to run smoothly.

My sister walks down stairs very carefully and slowly. I went to fetch the car and told her to take her time with the stairs. I made a mental note that I would have to go back up to lock the door. When I pulled up with the car and helped her get in – I was so focused on getting to Newark on time – I forgot about locking the door and did not even look back to notice it had been left totally open.

Apparently someone noticed the open door with lights inside and called Shmira. a few guys came and rang the bell and aroused my husband. They checked the house. Everything was OK. The whole house had been left wide open at 4:15 a.m.

I do not know who which Shmira members came to the house… PLEASE THANK THEM FOR ME… FOR GETTING OUT OF BED AND SAVING EVERYTHING I OWN! And if you know who called Shmira – please give them a Yasher Koach from me.

From a grateful Crown Heights resident

PS the trip to Newark went smoothly and we got to the gate just as they were starting to board. It was cool driving through the synchronized green lights along Canal Street before dawn without any cars and trucks in the way.

    I’m not sure why but I heard that Hatzalah was called for the open door.
    The Hatzalah volunteer who took the job called Shmira so he should not go in alone.
