A collector once came to the Satmar Rov zt”l, complaining about his 10 children, all who had medical problems; two chasunas he had to make while in crazy debt, and a long list of tzoros. The Satmar Rov gave him $10,000.

After the man left, the gabbaim came in and informed the Rebbe that he was a fraudster. The Rebbe beamed. “Boruch Hashem! His children don’t have medical problems; he has enough money for his family!”
