A message to you from Shimon Dushinsky, father of 8 and recent widower:
“My wife Rivka was my hero.
She raised our 8 children with such grace and strength, and for the last 6 months she battled stomach cancer. Two weeks ago, she passed away.
Devastated is not even the word.
Now I am at a loss as to how to cover all of my expenses with only my income. I have to pay 1500 shekel a month for my daughter Sara’s studies, 800 shekel a month for my son’s yeshiva, 350 shekel a month for my daughter Yehudis’s school, in addition to $40,000 of debts from cancer treatments and other life events.
I turn to you, a man humbled and mourning, to ask you to please help me to take care of my family, and cover our basic expenses, while we recover from this life-changing loss.
Thank you and Hashem should bless you.
Shimon Dushinsky”
