Just an update: I was by the shiva house when a woman who did not know the family came to sit near Mrs. Kletzky. she appeared to be a “traditional” jew. She wrote a three page letter expressing her feelings about the tragedy and how it affected her. She said :”I hope you don’t mind, but I included a check. i want you to use it for whatever would have made Leiby happy”. All who were there were moved by her kindness. I also heard that Mayor Bloomberg left a check when he came to be menachem aval. Everyone who is moved to donate should know that it is so very appreciated and will IY”H enable the family to deal with their grief more easily
As a close friend of the family i know firsthand that every penny donated will be put to good use.I have lost someone close to me and i know the family is and will be experiencing unbelievable anguish and grief. If we can alleviate some of their financial struggle, it will not take away their pain but will make it a bit easier to bear. They live in a very tiny cramped apartment, and although they never complain, I am sure this is difficult especially under the circumstances. Aside from therapy, missed work, kvura,matzeiva shloshim seuda, etc… I feel that after such a horrifying trauma…so while this shouldn’t be looked upon as using the situation, anyone who wants to do something to help, one very practical way is financially. May Hashem bless you with only Simchos and may it be a Zchus for Leiby’s Neshama
