Hello,
My name is Minna Hershkowitz, and I am the mother of eight incredible children. Just two months ago, our world began to unravel.
It started so simply—Yisrael, my husband, had headaches and seemed a little confused. I couldn’t sleep that night; my heart was in my mouth as I replayed every small sign. The next morning, I took him to the hospital. I will never forget the moment they showed us the CT scan. A massive tumor, right in his brain.
At first, we prayed it was benign. But after more tests, our worst fears were confirmed—it’s cancer, aggressive and already spreading.
Since then, Yisrael has been undergoing treatments that are draining away every ounce of his strength. Every time he winces, I have to remind myself to breathe. He is only 47, and our eight children—who adore their father—are watching helplessly as he fights for his life.
The medications alone cost 40,000 shekels a month. Both of us have had to stop working. The bills are piling up, and the doctors are now recommending surgery overseas to remove the tumor. But the cost is far beyond anything we can afford.
Last night, I lay awake, begging for rachamei shamayim, for a miracle. We need financial help immediately. Please, if you can, help us save Yisrael’s life. Every donation brings us closer to keeping this family together.
May it be a zechus for you and your loved ones. Thank you.
