BOXES OF BOUNTY

“As we pay off medical debts, our children can still enjoy their Shabbos nosh.”

I am a high school teacher. My
husband is a second seder Rebbe.
Baruch Hashem, we’ve always been
able to make ends meet — even
when it required some creativity.
But when our youngest daughter
required out-of-pocket medical
expenses, debt ballooned, and our
carefully constructed budget
suddenly became impossible to
manage.

Tomchei Shabbos used to be
something that we just knew about.
Now, it’s become a lifeline.
And as
we slowly repay our debt, knowing
that our children will enjoy their
Shabbos nosh is a tremendous
comfort.

Thank you from the bottom of our
hearts. We pray to one day be able
to pass the kindness on to others.

E.L.
