Dear Friend,
The wails of an unfortunate orphan have reached us, her cries tear at our hearts; to be silent is�impossible. We must help her right now and set her on her feet in order that she be able to establish�a bayis neeman b�Yisroel.
This girl has suffered so much in recent years. She has gone through tremendous difficulties, grief,�and suffering ever since her mother was so suddenly taken from her. Thanks be to Hashem, she just�became engaged to a chashuve bachur, a talmid chacham. They are looking forward to building�their own beautiful home.
But this kallah, instead of enjoying the period of her engagement, is besides herself with�worry. The financial situation is so dire, she feels she is drowning! Her house is bare, even�necessities are lacking – bread to eat and clothes to wear, never mind money to cover the�expenses of making a wedding and paying for the essentials of a new home – furniture,�linens, household goods – there is no money to pay for anything.
With hot tears coursing down her cheeks, the kallah has come to us crying, �I have suffered so much.�Now, before I begin my married life, please help me to go to my Chupah in good spirits. The endless�poverty is a crushing burden. Please extend a hand to me, I beg you, to allow me to begin this brand�new stage of my life with a heart full of joy and a mind at ease.�
We have no doubt, you will stretch yourselves and give this poor girl even more than you are able.�In the merit of supporting an orphan, and in the merit of hachnosas kallah, may you blessed with all�the blessings written in the Torah � wealth and happiness, health and tranquility, and everything�good, for you and your loved ones.
