We areretires
TV and motion picture writing ream – long-time current members
of the Writers Guild of America, west
One of us-Mort –
until 2002 – chaired, among many other committees, the WFAw
Task Force on Disability, as well as the WGAw Human Resources Coordination
Committee. Dealing with issues of entertainment industry including
those concerning writers with disabilities
Ed has been disabled
for thirteen years – house bound for over a year. Mort due
to a fall eleven months ago, is also now disabled. Obviously, we
know something about disability and the attitudes of some others
toward it.
GAMBURD, Inc has been
particularly helpful to us – dispensing medical equipment
with professionalism, with admirable patience (explaining in detail
how to make the best use of the equipment) and with that all –
important senesce of caring that distinguishes it in an age of indifference
exhibited by many businesses.
Israel Gamburd, moreover,
has not only checked with us on the continuing efficiency of the
equipment – but has repeatedly indicated personal concern
for out welfare – calling to see how else he might be of help
– even offering to do grocery shopping for us, if needed.
This is taking the proverbial extra step – not generally a
practice of business not of most people in our hectic society.
We were directed to GAMBURD,
Inc. by a visiting Home Health Service nurse. Until that time, we
weren’t aware of the establishment. We mention this to have
it understood our nomination doesn’t emanate from a personal
friendship. Our relationship with GAMBURD, Inc. remains on a business
level.
We believe however, that
good deeds should always be acknowledged.
