Rachel Friedman* is getting her son married next week.
Not long ago, she buried her husband after a long, painful illness. Months of hospitals and debt left her drained, and now she is facing something she never imagined: trying to make a wedding with nothing in hand.
“After losing my husband, I thought I couldn’t cry anymore,” she said. “But now, with the wedding so close, I cry again — because my son and his kallah will be moving into an empty apartment. No bed to sleep on, no table to sit at. How can I send them to begin their life like that?”
Her son is about to stand under the chuppah with nothing prepared — not the wedding meal, not the music, and not even the basics for the apartment he and his kallah will step into the next morning. No bed, no table, nothing to begin a life together.
Time is running out. In just a few days, this family must be ready.
After months of hospitals and heartbreak, a wedding should not come with more pain. Together we can make sure it doesn’t.
👉 This family cannot do it alone. They need your help right now to make next week’s wedding happen with dignity.
