A note from the Mother.

After speaking with a Rabbi, who has given guidance and wisdom, I was advised the best decision was to reach out to my community. Here is some background story.

• I have a daughter getting married in 3 weeks under the chuppah. My life has drastically changed in weeks. I am a former stay at home Mom. I went back to the workforce part-time, but last year, I got diagnosed with cancer and was out of work. (BH, I am 8 months cancer free)  
  
• With what seemed to be such a dark and challenging time, I kept my faith and leaned on the fact that I had children that needed me and I needed them. I also had a community that was pulling for me. To top it off, my daughter was graduating from college, which I took on. Her biological father died her sophomore year. I have truly worked hard in ensuring she is taken care of.  Baruch Hashem, she found her beshert and will soon be under the chuppah.   
• In recent months, weeks, it has been quite the struggle. Unf ortunately, the bill for the caterer and the rental are beyond my financial means and have led me to  creating this fund. I am only asking for what is needed.  My children are the light of my life. I do not want to be a burden, nor shall I cry in silence because I am not sure where or how I will be able to pay my portion. But they say it takes a village, I need my village. I am humbly asking for your help. Todah Rabah. Thank you kindly. Should you be blessed 10 times fold. Thank you.
