One week before Pesach, while the Jewish world was busy cleaning and scrubbing, shopping and cooking, a fresh widow and six small children accompanied their beloved husband and father on his final journey.
Their hearts are broken; tears course down their cheeks. There isn’t a dry eye as the eldest son’s voice cracks while reciting “Yisgadal V’yiskadash Shmei Rabba.”

A full year has passed since the dark day when R’ Elimelech Horovitz z”l collapsed suddenly.

A full year of sterile hospital walls, medication and treatments, nonstop suffering and desperate prayers at his bedside.

A full year without income, rising expenses and mounting debts that leave the young widow not only shattered and grieving, but also penniless.

For a full year while Elimelech fought for every breath, his family’s stability vanished.

Six months ago, in the midst of the nightmare, his wife gave birth alone to their sixth child. Tears of joy mingled with tears of terror. Today, those tears are all she has left.

Six fresh orphans. An infant who will never know her father.

A widow with nowhere to turn but us.

How can we look into the eyes of six fresh orphans and explain that there is no supper because Tatty is gone?

How can we meet the gaze of a fresh widow who doesn’t know where food will come from tomorrow?

Hashem, Father of Orphans, promises: “If you gladden Mine, I will gladden yours.”

Partner with us to save the Hurwitz family from hunger and despair!

Give them the strength to carry on!
