Hello,
My name is Rivka Ben Moshe. I never thought this would be my life, or that I would need to tell my story to strangers. But when I woke up one morning to find that my husband was never coming home, everything changed.
I was left alone to raise our 8 beautiful children. I have a serious illness and live off of barely any income, and have tremendous debts.
We have been evicted more than once because I simply couldn’t pay rent.
I am trying as hard as I can to give these kids a happy life, after everything they’ve been through. But I’m afraid I’m failing.
Please, for the kids’ sake, consider helping us. Money raised here will go toward basic bills, to make sure they get what they need.
They were already abandoned. They shouldn’t also have to go through this.
Thank you, and may you only know simcha,
Rivka Ben Moshe
A letter from Rav Meir Sirota shlit"a on her behalf (Haskama below):
"I hereby come to strongly recommend and appeal on behalf of the distinguished woman, Mrs. Rivka Ben Moshe, may she live long.
She has fallen into a difficult and terrible financial situation. Her husband gave her a get and left her alone with young children and overwhelming debts. She is unable to work, having undergone surgery for a serious illness, may the Merciful One spare us. She survives only on National Insurance benefits and income support.
She has debts from her children's weddings, and has been evicted from her apartment several times. She owes money to many gemachs, as well as for electricity, water, and more — and her cry of distress tears the heart.
Her married sons are kollel yungeleit, and her brothers are also unable to assist. She does not know where to turn.
It is a great mitzvah to help her. Therefore, I turn to our Acheinu Beis Yisroel — compassionate children of compassionate people — please have mercy upon her and her children, and support her generously and openhandedly in order to relieve her from her distress.
In the merit of this great mitzvah, may you be blessed with abundant blessing and success, and may all the desires of your heart be fulfilled for good, all your days.
Written and signed for the sake of this important mitzvah, Rav Meir Sirota shlit"a"
