7/1/13

Last week Eli got a visit from his rebbi Rabbi Jacobs who is also the rebbi in camp for Elis grade. As soon as rebbi left the house Eli decided “I’m going to camp” we told him we don’t think that he’s up to it yet but as usual Eli insisted all weekend that he is going to go. He woke up this morning with the same mind set “I’m going to camp” left with no choice but at the same time very happy and very nervous I took Eli to camp. Rabbi Jacobs and Rabbi Tyner we extra helpful to make sure this can work and Eli really enjoyed himself for the few hours that he lasted and rebonded with some of his classmates. We won’t allow him to go on days where there is a trip that has a lot of walking and being outdoors as he isn’t quite strong enough for that yet.

IYH Eli will continue to gain strength and continue eating and gaining weight. He has proven us and the doctors many times wrong and beezrat hashem that will continue only for the good. On Tuesday Eli will have a day to rest and relax at home and maybe get out a little and enjoy being not In the hospital.

We look forward to another day of only good and gains for Elimelech Ben Basya and we daven that all should go as easy and smooth for him so that he can move on in only gezunt.

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”
