🙂 My situation is not normal. I am in a place where the only way I can remit funds to Rabbi Meir Baal HaNess is via card or PayPal. I can’t even use the currency in my pushka for Koilel Shomrei HaChoimos and it is just a box as I can’t get an official one sent here. The box is really there for the segula; if I’m panicking to find something I don’t have the time or presence of mind to log on and send the money that way. I was born on Rabbi Meir’s yahrtzeit and I give at intervals to Shomrei haChoimos and another Rabbi Meir anyway.
Besides, I don’t think this has happened to me more than once over the past 4 years – it did happen this summer when I realized I had no bottled water for Shabbos.
