Dear brothers and sisters, It is a few short weeks after my wedding, the happiest day of my life. The feeling of being a princess has long since dissipated. I have a heart defect that needs to be corrected through surgical means at this point in my life. I was also diagnosed with symptoms of the dreaded disease and must undergo surgery in the next few days. The doctors have also set up a series of difficult treatments that I must undergo. I will also need rehabilitation and medical care and monitoring for at least a year and a half. I am an orphan and don’t have family backing for financial or emotional support especially during this difficult time. My new husband (who is also an orphan) and I don’t have a financial base to be able to afford the enormous financial burden of the medical expenses. Please help us be able to build our new home without the additional financial stress of the costly surgeries and treatments. In the Zechus of this tremendous Mitzvah may Hashem give you health, wealth, and all of your heart’s desires. Please Daven for me for A Refuah Shelaima, Shulamis Bas Udel Meirav
