ENGAGED AND INVOLVED AT 106

During his first century of life, Dr. Alexander Imich survived war, forced labor, and the death of most of his family and friends in concentration camps. He and his wife immigrated to the United States in 1951, where he began a more peaceful life as a chemical engineer. Now, at 106 years of age, Dr. Imich is engaged in researching and writing about parapsychology and remains resilient, despite the fact that he lost his life savings twice in the stock market, and is now surviving on Social Security and other entitlements. With assistance from The New York Times Neediest Cases Fund, Selfhelp assists him with “Medigap”—medical coverage to supplement Medicare—and with funding to pay for eyeglasses and other medical bills.

WorkSearch: Finding “Encore” Careers

As the recession worsened this year, some of our clients lost financial support from their adult children, leading them to seek security through employment. Selfhelp made it possible for clients to explore new careers through WorkSearch, a unique computer program operated in partnership with the AARP Foundation.

Homebound…but Connected: The Virtual Senior Center

Homebound seniors are often isolated, with little change from day to day. In partnership with Microsoft and the New York City Department for the Aging (DFTA), Selfhelp is currently engaged in a pilot of a new and exciting technology for homebound seniors: a Virtual Senior Center. Using a specialized computer, web cam and microphone, participants can see, hear, and communicate in real time with friends and staff members at their nearby senior center and other venues. Sitting in their own apartments, they can view and take part in armchair yoga, Chinese calligraphy classes, discus- The Need for Medication sion groups, informative lectures, and even religious services.

To accomplish this, Trained and Employed Selfhelp established the Guthery Training Institute by Selfhelp in 1977 to train caring individuals for employment in our home care programs. Offering tuition-free instruction, the Guthery Training Institute provides a career path in health care for these paraprofessionals. The curriculum also includes specialized training modules related to treating Holocaust survivors, pediatric patients, and those with complex medical conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, HIV/AIDS, and termi- nal illness.

In 2009, 400 Home Health Aides received tuition-free training and certification as Home Health Aides at Selfhelp’s Guthery Institute. They will also participate in mandatory in-service training each year, enabling them to keep current their certification, and remain up to date on the skills required to best meet the needs of their patients.

11 HOME HEALTH AIDES CONTINUED

Providing Comfort, Support, and Care

Selfhelp’s 1,425 Home Health Aides provide daily companion- ship and physical support to those who are frail, elderly, or coping with disabilities. They work directly in clients’ homes, assisting with basic needs such as bathing, dressing, and personal care, as well as meal preparation, shopping, and laundry. For our frailest clients, these services make a critical difference—by ensuring that they have the comfort, support and care they need to remain in their own homes.

Everyone Needs a Mentor

Three years ago, Ilza Villar was promoted from Home Health Aide to Mentor, having provided stellar care for her patients for 14 years. Now, hundreds of newly trained Home Health Aides benefit from her knowledge and experience. In addition to assisting with their professional development skills, Ilza helps them iron out any obstacles that may stand in the way of a successful employment experience. For some, it might be child care issues and for others it may be applying for Section 8 housing. Says Ilza, “I understand because I was there. I do role playing with them. I help them deal with difficult patients. I enjoy my position very much and am grateful to have been promoted to Mentor. I like to be able to help as many people as I can.” Maria Schmid with her Home Health Aide, Annette Green.

A Pioneer in Affordable This past year, under the Ameri- can Recovery and Reinvestment Senior Housing Act, Selfhelp obtained millions of dollars in Federal stimulus funding to refinance its first two buildings, generating sufficient revenue to renovate and mod- ernize them for the enjoyment of our residents. Selfhelp is the first not-for-profit organization in New York City to build affordable rental housing for seniors under the NY State Mitchell- Lama program. Selfhelp owns and operates six such residences and is currently planning for its seventh.

15 A Promise Made 0ver Seven Decades Ago

Project Legacy

Having escaped the terror of Nazi Germany, a fortunate few made it their mission to help their brethren who were fleeing with just the clothes on their backs. They assisted by providing life’s essentials —food, clothing, shelter, employment—whatever was necessary to begin their lives anew in America. And there was more. They knew of the unspeakable horrors that were befalling those left behind. And so they made a promise, “to serve as the last surviving relative to victims of the Holocaust,” and with little more than steely determination, Selfhelp Community Services was created.

Selfhelp’s longtime supporters know well of the tremendous assistance our Nazi Victim Services Program has provided our clients over the last seven decades. But what many of our even staunchest supporters don’t realize is that the need is still acute. The unantici- pated reality is that although the number of Holocaust survivors has declined, those in need of services has dramatically risen. The num- bers don’t lie. Last year, of the 5,700 victims of Nazi persecution we served, over 1,000 had approached us for the very first time.

Selfhelp recently completed a comprehensive study to project the need for services for our survivor clients through the year 2025. Many are frail and alone and oftentimes suffering from illnesses brought on as a result of their experiences in concentration camps. During their final years, they often relive the horrors of the past and the slightest obstacle can cause tremendous anguish. Most troublesome is the poverty we see among our clients—a startling number are poor, or live near the poverty line.

While Selfhelp is prepared to be there for our clients, we have been advised by our primary funder, the Claims Conference, that their funding will be exhausted in the next 5-7 years. As such, in 2015, when the need will be peaking, it will be necessary for us to replace over $4 million of our annual $7.5 million Nazi Victims Services budget.

Out of this serious concern, the Project Legacy initiative was born. Always looking towards the future, Selfhelp leadership agreed that in order to fulfill our promise to the survivor community we must begin planning now for the anticipated decrease in funding. This year we launched the Project Legacy Campaign to raise $30 million in replacement funding, the income from which will be used to support programs for Holocaust survivors. Beginning on or around 2015, we expect to begin using a portion of the principle.

While some may wonder how Selfhelp can launch a Campaign during these challenging eco- nomic times, the answer is sim- ple. How can we not? How can we abandon Holocaust survivors during their final hours of need?

20 CONFERENCE ON JEWISH MATERIAL CLAIMS AGAINST GERMANY The Claims Conference has played a crucial role in enabling Selfhelp to expand its services to meet the increasing needs of victims of Nazi persecution throughout the New York metropolitan area.
