THE FOLLOWING WAS POSTED ON EREV YOM KIPPUR:
As Yom Kippur approaches and we all seek to increase our zechusim so that we may be zocheh b’din, YWN would like to inform our readers of an incredible opportunity to help tip the scales in our favor.
YWN has only twice before promoted a specific tzedakah, but our team is now raising funds for two families – one of whom is very close to the YWN family. We have personally and exhaustively verified the authenticity and urgency of their respective plights. HaRav Elya Brudny, the Rosh yeshiva of the Mirrer Yeshiva, personally knows both of them, and knows the situation first hand.
Both of these families truly require our assistance, and providing them with it will surely present a powerful zechus for us in Shamayim. We know that we all have a ton of Tzedkaha requests, but YWN doesn’t charge for our service, providing breaking news 24 hours a day for 21 years. In turn, please open your generous hearts for this cause!
The second family is one that has been a close friend of YWN for many years. A member of his family is suffering from a rare form of cancer, and is undergoing a trial drug, which is not covered by any insurance. The situation is desperate, as they literally have no money for basic necessities. Their bills are in the tens of thousands, and they are long past their credit line!
Hundreds of thousands of people trust YWN to deliver them the news – appropriately, sensitively, and free-of-charge. Now, we are simply making one request: Please help us help these two pure families who are silently suffering. Please open your hearts before Yom Kippur and provide them with much-needed reprieve. In doing so, we have no doubt that the Ribono Shel Olam will make our lives easier and better, as well.
The words of U’nesaneh Tokef call to us: U’Teshuva U’Tefillah U’Tzedakah Maavirin Es Roah Hagezeirah. Let us not let this opportunity pass us by.
Wishing you all a Gmar Chasima Tova.
