People in the YWN Coffee Room are well familiar with the needs of kollel families. They are somehow supported either by the community, family, or Uncle Sam.

I am a balabos who feels strongly that it is important for people to work. However, I am well aware that there are countless frum families who are the working poor. They earn enough to be ineligible or minimally eligible for Uncle Sam’s assistance, but are too poor to pay half their expenses. Many of these people are super diligent hard workers who just need some more mazal.

How do we as a klal go about helping the working poor?

If we let them fall, the price to rebuild the families will be too much to bear.

I for once am ALL EARS.
