Dear fellow Lakewood Residents,
I am writing this letter as a long-time resident of our wonderful Ihr Hatorah V'Chesed (community) of Lakewood NJ. Everyone knows of the tough financial situation the community has been facing the last few years. I used to be the proud manager
of a size able electronics company.
I worked long hours finding myself away from home approximately 12-13 hours a day. We didn't get paid a salary large enough to correctly support our family, but I worked as hard as I could anyway. Then, two years ago, I became Ill, lost my job,
and had to have heart surgery to save my life. I amThank G-D healthy now and am seeking work.
We are a family of 12 people, and, being way past the foreclosure stage, we are now facing the terrible prospect of being evicted from our home.
We have attempted to find rental housing but have not found any rental unit that would be open to (and fit) a family with ten children. While many people have floated different ideas (none of which have born fruit) the one solution that could work is to buy the house back from the bank.
The sum of approximately $300,000 must be raised before Shavuos so the house can be purchased back from them. This would keep our family in our home.
For those who may say impossible, This is Lakewood Ihr Hatorah and Ihr Hachesed. Nothing is impossible for Klal Yisroel and Lakewood has proved that time and again.
It is with a heavy heart that I turn to the Global community and ask for help. We have nowhere to go and no way to get there.
I can't thank You enough!!

There are 100's of homes is the lakewood jackson area which would fit such a family of ten or more. Of course its easier to put the pressure on others to bail them out. What is going to prevent others from copying this family so they can get a free home paid for by the tzibbur?
ReplyDeletei am shocked with the above comment.you have no feeling what it is facing foreclosure and I hope you never have to. Your remark is very callous and passt nit tzu zugan.
Deleteshame on you "anonymous" you are probably one of those who always has something to say, but never actually does something. you don't know all the circumstances in the case, so how could you be such a fast judge. I pray for you that you should never face such a situation.
ReplyDeleteI think mr. anon is bringing up a important point. You cant expect ppl to bail anyone out without knowing the case. There should be a few baalei batim signing off on the request so ppl can trust and donate.
ReplyDeleteAnon is probably commenting on the article. The artucle says that they cant find a rental for his size family. Thats simply not true. Look around town and u will see for yourself how many rental properties arre available. If there are other reasons or issues dont write an article with false facts. As far as copycating thats an excellent point. People wont think twice if they cant pay thier rent or mortgage because someone will just open up a shnurring website and get a freebee.
