I have read various comments people have been putting out there about this project. It bothers me that the people behind it are being very secretive about who is organizing this project and which Gedolim are endorsing it. However, once vertification can be established, the bottom line is that if you are an older single girl (having been there myself), you would give anything to have someone really working for you in the hopes that you will walk down the aisle one day. It is very depressing to watch your siblings getting married and having children, while you sit home waiting for someone to think of you. Those who got married early and have children right away, do not have a clue as to the desperation felt by older singles. While $11,000 is no small sum, however, over the course of a lifetime, it is not a lot of money. When I was single and without family in New York to help things along, if I had the cash, I would have given it in a heartbeat. If you got married easily, it is difficult to envision what life is like for an older single girl and the desperation she feels. Therefore, those commenting should try to put themselves in the place of these single wonderful ladies, who are accomplished and have wonderful middos, and who deserve a chance at happiness.
