I posted this awhile ago on another thread, but your post is off to a slow start (probably beacuse of the taanis) I’ll get the ball rolling:
Last summer, my friend’s car broke down in the Home Depot parking lot on the NJ 17. Within 5 minutes, Chaverim was there. Pretty standard so far.
Unfortunatly, they could not help us. So with little choice, we settled down until AAA showed. So why am I telling you this story? Becuase “it just so happened” that we broke down on Tisha B’av and “it just so happened” that I had picked up a copy of Tisha B’av to Go from YU, and “it just so happened” that Dr. D Pelcovits had an article in that issue on the subject of dealing with loss, that helped me address the issue with my son, who had just lost a friend in a car accident.
2 hours later, AAA showed up and towed us away. But in those 2 hours, I was able to reach my son when / and in a way he needed me to. Was is becuase it was Tisha B’av that I was more receptive to dealing with pain? Was it because I was stranded in the middle of NJ, so I was able to relate to being alone and know how meaningful it would be if someone were able to reach out and help me? Not sure, but its probaly a combination of all the above (not to mention hashgacha pratis from The One Above)
So I guess you could still call this a Chaverim success story, after all.
