Hi, my name is Mrs. D. I’m a mother of 17 children, k’’h. My husband is so dedicated to support us, he works 2 jobs — one full-time during the day, and another from the afternoon until 4AM. He sleeps 2 hours a night- and then he gets up and does it all again. 

This past year, everything changed when not 1, not 2, but 3 of our children were diagnosed with serious medical conditions. We’re juggling hospital visits, medication, and therapy sessions. The costs are overwhelming — and our debts have piled up. And now, our precious son is engaged Boruch Hashem. It should be the happiest time of our lives, but I can’t stop crying.

We have nothing to give him. Deep down, my heart breaks. After all the years of struggle, after everything my husband has done, we just wanted to give my son the basic things a chosson needs to get married. Please… kindly help us get him and his kallah to the chuppah. It would mean so much more to them than you can ever understand. 

Thank you a million times over,

Mrs. D.
