Shalom and Shavua Tov,

First of all, I hope everyone is safe and well.

Many Rabbis, including Rabbi Berel Wein, Rabbi Zvi Schwarts and Rabbi Amram Rister can vouch for this terrible situation.

I put off sending messages since the start of the war because I did not want to take advantage of this horrible situation, which many people are doing. I get 100 emails a day asking for money due to the war. Some are legitimate, but many are not.

I am writing today because this family we have been helping is suffering very badly. The father is more sick than ever, and only leaves his home for doctors, tests, and the hospital, and only with an escort to help him walk. WIthout help they will have to leave their home. For years the boy has been learning at a special school.

For those who do not know, this is a single father raising his son alone. Besides his multiple illnesses, including surgeries for cancer and other things. He is in heavy debt due to a company where he worked that went bankrupt and did not pay him a lot of money. He is a very nice man that always helps others. Now he and his son need help urgently.

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
