Dear Reb Eli,

I hope you and your family had an enjoyable and uplifting Yom Tov.
On one hand, my Yom Tov was very nice as all of my kids were here, but at the same time, it was an emotional roller coaster as you can imagine.

Now that things are settling down a bit, I want to be in touch to tell you how appreciative I am for the check you sent me. Since my wife passed away on Tisha B’Av, my 11 children and I have been facing many emotional difficulties and challenging situations. In the number of weeks following the funeral there were so many various expenses. Loosing a spouse and mother whose income also helped pay the bills was overwhelming. Your organization, Avigdor’s Helping Hand, significantly eased this difficult period for our family by lessening the financial burden. A few thousand dollars made a very significant difference to our large family at that time, and we are thankful.

Hashem should reward all of the volunteers/staff at Avigdor’s Helping Hand.

Sincerely,

Y______________
