Why Pinchas loves his job
Pinchas Yakobov, DSP
“I knew Eli* from around the neighborhood, so when his parents signed up to receive services through Hamaspik two years ago, and they asked me to be his worker — I agreed with the greatest of pleasure!
“I always say that as much as I do for Eli, Eli does for me. He loves construction, fixing, and putting together complicated things like bicycles and motorcycles. Creative handiwork is where he excels, and it keeps me on my toes. I need to be ready and willing to try new things.
“I’ve had the opportunity to communicate with several Hamaspik coordinators since I began working with Hamaspik. It’s incredible how they’re always looking to push the envelope, to do more and give more. You can tell they’re on a mission and that everything they do is truly from the heart.
“Being a DSP is not an easy job — it takes a lot of patience and compassion. Not everyone can do it. But within Hamaspik, anyone I speak to makes it clear they’re in the field out of love for the people they service. No matter who I speak to, I feel the same level of dedication. I’ve never seen another organization like this!”
The heart behind the service
Joel Lefkovits
Director of OPWDD-HCBS Services
“When I speak to the clients, many insist that they have the ‘best, most dedicated’ coordinator. Once, a mother even mentioned that she feels like the only client — that’s how much care and individual attention she receives from her coordinator.”
