Reply To: Family in dire health crisis in Lakewood area

Thank you all, for your suggestions and chizuk. I will pass the information along to the family. I feel reasonably certain they have already been in touch with Rofeh. Chai Lifeline is willing to coordinate the fund-raising efforts through then, but there might be other groups as well, I am sure. Right now the msot important thing is for them to be able to pay his bills, and I will tell

them what you have said.

There is a different kind of Medicaid in their township, or at least I am under the impression it is not like NY Medicaid exactly. Some things are covered for him, but the expensive testing has not been, among other things.

Zahavasdad, if you are from the Lakewood area at all, or know people there, it is entirely possible you DO know them, in which case you know what a wonderful family they are and what a blow this has been to them. Their parnassah has been a problem for a number of reasons, since Sandy hit and caused great losses to them. But right now the focus is on their son.

Your tefilos are most crucial, as well. And though I posted his name as Dov Nechemiah Hakohein ben Rochel Chai-Sorah, it is really …ben CHAYA Sorah, and should be said that way properly for a mi sheberach l’cholim. I know Hashem knows who we are, but when davening on someone’s behalf, the Jewish name has koach to it, and should be pronounced properly and completely.
