In a rare step, Maran Sar HaTorah Rav Chaim Kanievsky shlita met with the Admor of Vizhnitz this month to discuss one matterthat is weighing heavily on the hearts of those who care for Klal Yisroel: 243 sick people and their family members are in desperate need of financial help to pay for their life-saving treatments.
Rav Chaim Kanievsky shlita and Rav Yisrael Hager the Admor of Vizhnitz shlita have written an urgent letter on behalf of the 243 cholim: d
We know the great acts of charity and kindness of the Vaad Harabanim who have helped many thousands of families indiresituations
Now, the cries of the families of cholim have come before us, they are suffering from terrible illnesses, and the matter is truly one of pikuachnefesh for them and their families who are hungering for bread as a result of heavy medical expenses
Therefore, we have founded a special fund in VaadHarabanim to assist them
All those who donate will see great salvation with whatever they need, and they and all their family will be saved from all sickness measure for measure, they will merit to make simchos in their homes and to see nachas from all their descendants with health and an abundance of parnassah
Chaim Kanievsky shlita
Yisrael Hager shlita
It can’t wait another day, the Gedolim are calling on us to save the cholim and their families – now
Each case brought before the Gedolei Yisroel tells a different story: of a mother attached to a home dialysis machine, too weak to care for her children; of a father who is battling cancer, each breath a struggle while his family hungers for bread; a son, only 15 years old, who navigates life in a wheelchair. Many contain urgent requests for life-saving surgeries or rare medications
So many different sorrows, some so rare that they have no cure and some the sort that the mention of them terrifies each one of us. Each moment that passes is a question of life and death
Now is the time to help them, not only one sick member of Klal Yisroel – 243 desperately ill people who are waiting for you to stretch out your hand and support them in their time of need
