I would like to give a special thank you to all those involved in the incredible organization!
As you can imagine, my husband and I are completely overwhelmed.
Although there is a rayze.it campaign, the funds are being managed and we do not yet have access as they figure things out. (In addition, the fundraising goal was not yet met.)
The first check you sent was very helpful for the initial expenses – flights, living expenses, etc.
As you can imagine, the need is still great, especially with Pesach around the corner, tickets that need to be purchased (there are children in E”Y, Baltimore, Cleveland, Buffalo and the tri-state area).
Thank you for going above and beyond in such a timely manner and streamlined, organized process.
May all your volunteers be benched to be able to continue giving to Klal Yisroel.
Wishing you all a good Shabbos and a freilichen Purim!
Tizku limitzvos!

To the whole AHH team,
I just want to share with you a little hakaras hatov for the work that you do. I recently helped the _________ family apply for assistance after the tragic passing of _________ _________, 36 year old father of 3 young children. The almost immediate help came and has made such an impact on this family. I don’t know if it is possible to convey the feelings that they have about Avigdor’s Helping Hand but it is important to try.
_________, _________’s wife, shared with me that the hardship of facing their new reality is so overwhelming. But the generous support of AHH has been such a relief. It is more than the money provided to them in this time of need. It is a sign that they are not alone and they are supported by people who don’t even know them. It makes her feel less alone and that helps with the most difficult part of this, the feelings of helplessness and feeling alone. She thanks you all for the amazing work that you do.
I want you all to know how important the work that you do is. Watching from this perspective it is amazing how the help of AHH is alleviating the financial burden and at the same time lifting the spirits and emotions of this mother which in turn positively affects her children. You are truly doing an incredible mitzvah and all I can say is that you should all be blessed to continue doing חסד for klal yisrael._________ _________
