When Tragedy Strikes, We Answer Together

Two weeks ago, a young mother in Crown Heights suffered a life-altering stroke—just three weeks after giving birth to a baby boy. Ilana Bluming, devoted wife of Rabbi Avrohom Bluming and mother of five, was suddenly taken from her daily role as the anchor of her home, and thrown into a medical emergency.

Two weeks ago, a young mother in Crown Heights suffered a life-altering stroke—just three weeks after giving birth to a baby boy.

Ilana Bluming, devoted wife of Rabbi Avrohom Bluming and mother of five, was suddenly taken from her daily role as the anchor of her home, and thrown into a medical emergency.

Five small children.
A newborn longing for his mother’s embrace.
A father doing everything in his power—yet needing support beyond measure.

In the face of this tragedy, as we all embark on the days of Sefira, the community is rallying to help. A campaign has been launched to ensure the family can navigate the difficult weeks and months ahead with dignity and support.

Funds raised will go directly to:

• Childcare and infant care
  
• Household management
  
• Medical treatments and innovative therapies not covered by insurance
  
• Emotional and psychological support
  
• And other unforeseen costs of recovery
  

This is our moment to respond with chesed. To be the extended family Ilana and Rabbi Bluming need now.

Let’s help bring back smiles. Let’s help restore calm. Let’s help Ilana walk again into her home with strength and health. 

Spring is here; the sunshine is warming up our days. Let’s warm our hearts to Ilana and her children and help support her healing process NOW!
