Family needs urgent help please
|
Shalom, and Chodesh Tov to all.
We
have been trying to help a family that lives in Jerusalem in a terrible situation. They can be
evicted and have the electricity disconnected at any time. Since our
last posting, the father's health has gotten worse and they need urgent
help. They have no other family to help them.
Rabbis Berel Wein, Amram Rister and Zvi Schwartz can all verify this sad story.
The
father is sick with cancer and other health problems and spends a lot
of time in the hospital. At this point he can barely walk. He has
already had two surgeries with more to come. He raises his son alone,
which is very difficult for him. The boy studies in a special school and
was also recently in the hospital.
The
father is in debt due to the bankruptcy of a company he worked for from
outside of Israel. They owe him a lot of money that he will never
receive.
Please kindly help them. They need to pay rent and bills this week or could be in the street.
This
is a nice man that has always helped others and now unfortunately is in
urgent need of help. Even in his current situation he arranges food for
poor people for Shabbat.
There
are American and Israeli charities accepting donations for them, and it
is also possible to help through their grocery store (makolet) or by
bank transfer to friends that are trying to help the family. Feel free
to write to me for details.
For USA tax deductible
receipts, the Bayswater Neighbors Fund has a website to donate. I will
write the link below. If anyone prefers to send a check, please email me
and I will send the address.
Right above the SUBMIT button on
the donation form is written "My contribution is for:" and then they
have a drop-down menu to choose where the donation will go. Important to
choose, "Family in Jerusalem", and push the Submit button once. This is very important or they will not know to whom to give the donation. Please also email me if you donate so we can follow up. Here is the link to donate.
For Israel donations/receipts, please see the link below. It is VERY IMPORTANT to write FUND 2110
in the comment box or the donation will not go to the family and to
email me if you donate so we can follow up. Here is the link for the
Mekimi organization donation page.
Then click on"Secured donation by credit card" and please remember to write FUND 2110 in the comment box.
Thank you all in advance. Tizku L'Mitzvot?
