6/3/14

Eli started taking the 2 medications on Monday morning and we will find out if it beezrat hashem did what it was intended to do on Friday. Bli ayin hora for the most part Eli has been feeling pretty good and even made it to school a few times in the last few weeks for short periods of time with the help of his rebbi Rabbi Weiner and his class they all really enjoyed.

As of now we plan to take a Sunday AM flight to NY and check in to MSKCC on Monday for anywhere from 3 days and on. In a perfect world we hope to come back to LA 8 days later on Monday. The MIBG treatment is very high radioactive materials and therefore only short periods of visitation at one time is recommended for everyone.

Unfortunately the list of Cholim doesn’t seem to diminish and some of the Cholim now more then ever need our tefilos desperately. The list is long but here are a few names: Chaya Zisa Elka Bas Blumah, Chana Tova Bas Esther Shoshana, Chaya Mushka Bas Hadassa Shayna, Golda Bas Miriam and of course Elimelech Ben Basya bsoch shaar choley yisroel. If everyone can do something bzchus all of these cholim who so desperately need and deserve a refua shelayma bkarov. We should be zoche to see this YT of Shavous celebrated next year in EY AMEN.

A GUT YOM TOV

Special Announcement

For the last few months a group of our close friends have been arranging to join Chai Lifelines marathon taking place in Florida on 2/2/14. They have already 12+ people just on the “team Eli” group along the many others that run for Chai Lifeline. To do so every runner goes through MONTHS of rigorous training which they have all began doing already. This is one of the bigger fundraisers for Chai Lifeline who anyone who has ever needed their services knows how vital they are when a family member is going through a illness. And for those who BH haven’t had a sick family member and beezrat hashem will never have should know that they are simply a lifeline. Always there and always thinking about what they can do to take their chesed to the next level.

Our family will forever be makir tov to them for what they have done for us and continue to do. Every runner that signs up is essentially pledging $3600 to join the CL team. Aside from the training they do they must also raise the $$. On the link below there is a team Eli page which shows how much together the team has raised but you can click on each persons name and donate directly to their pledge. We beezrat hashem hope as a family to be there together with Eli who will be pushed in a wheelchair/stroller by one of the runners during the marathon

I look at this as a insurance plan that hopefully your donation should chas vshalom never be used towards your family or anyone you know but for us its the ultimate lifeline. Again I ask that anyone that can should please donate whatever they can “every dollar counts”. If you can donate $5 great if you can do more even better. If you can fully sponsor a runner would be amazing. There is also nothing wrong with a runner more then fulfilling their pledges for this great and worthy cause.

Anyone wishing to join the team should please email Ayalaback@gmail.com and anyone wishing to donate should please go to this link: http://www.teamlifeline.org/myteam.php?myid=88.

All I can say simply is “tizku lmitzvos”
