Be Her Light This Chanukah

"In the days of Matisyahu..." - Days of miracles, of tefillah, of light in the darkness. But for one young mother, this Chanukah is filled with tears.

 Talya, a devoted Yiddishe mother, sits beside the hospital bed of her one-year-old daughter, Sheina Yafa.  

Born with a severe brain bleed, Sheina was later diagnosed with "neuroblastoma" - a rare, aggressive cancer.

 Since the day she entered this world,  Sheina has been fighting to live.

 And Talya has been fighting with her - with tefillos, tears, and every ounce of strength a mother can have.  

 But the treatment - their only hope - is far beyond what the family can afford. Every cent has already been used.  

 Now, as we gather around our menorahs and sing "Maoz Tzur", Talya is begging for a miracle.  

 She turns to Klal Yisrael - to you - and pleads: “Help me save my daughter’s life.”

 This is not just a donation.  

It’s a mitzvah. It’s hatzalas nefashos. It’s a spark of light in their darkest hour.

Be part of the neis. Bring light to their Chanukah.
