Two loving parents were working, taking care of their 6 children, including 2 special needs children, when everything changed.
Right before Purim, the father was in a massive car accident. The full extent of the damage to the father is not yet clear; there is definitely internal bleeding, as well as severe breathing difficulties and damage to the lungs.
It is hard enough to support a family of eight without additional hardships. Add to that special needs children, and it gets harder. But now, with the father unable to work and getting treated for such severe damage from the accident, any level of taking care of the family is difficult.
The family is in shambles. What was once a loving, cohesive family, is now a father in the hospital, a mother holding it together as best as she can, and 6 children whose entire world was shattered in the blink of an eye, with one terrible car accident.
Think of these children, of the family, and help your brother and sister in their time of need. Nobody should know of the severe trauma that this family is currently experiencing.
In the merit of your helping with this family, may Hashem protect you and your family from car accidents and other terrible events.

Through the years campaigns are giving less and less information. So, I’ll ask- what are they collecting for? Is it medical bills (medical insurance covers), is it the total loss of the car (auto insurance covers), is it out of work (worker’s compensation and NJ disability claims provide coverage). There are organizations in Bergen County to help channel support for yeshiva tuition help, emotional support with therapists, Tomchei Shabbos for meals, but unsure what is blindly being asked for if the purpose of insurance and state programs provide coverage for?
Well said
Did you read the letter in the post?
He clearly read some of the letterhead, though I’d interpret “our neighborhood” to mean RBS, where the writer of the letter is located. Agreed – the letter doesn’t itemize expenses and show what’s covered by NII. That said, I’d expect wage-replacement benefits to be partial and capped as they typically are under WC/DI here, so it seems reasonable to me that there would be some need. But if you want more details, Dave, why don’t you call him (the letter writer, not the injured guy) up and ask for a detailed accounting of his friend’s/neighbor’s situation pre- and post-accident. While you have him on the phone, you can also lecture him on how virtuous you are for buying Extra PIP so if such a thing happened to you, you wouldn’t become a burden on your friends/neighbors by asking for even so minor a favor as mowing your lawn.
I don’t usually donate when these campaigns are posted (or, more often, it seems, received as SMS spam), but I think you just inspired me to. After ordering copious takeout while quarantining for coronavirus, I have no trouble picturing how easily the added expenses of carrying on “regular” life under irregular circumstances could add up.
“To Dave” has a good point here. There was a tragedy, someone was injured badly possibly a life long issue. Workers comp and disability insurance don’t pay a glorious salary it’s a fraction of your average salary for the previous year (and they know how to slice off any extras, very well) a minimal pay is not gonna cut it for a family struggling without a dad. Let alone the extra care (maybe he needs therapy that’s not covered by insurance).
Point is once your giving, giving generous means they don’t have to live on dry bread and water. Help them out.
I’m sure you mean well, we do need tzedaka to be genuine. Just can’t expect insurance and disability to cover a crisis.
True tzedaka isn’t asking 5000 questions, you give because someone is in need.
