12/26/14

Eli had a well deserved fun filled week. Monday we went as a family to Disneyland. On Tuesday Elis Uncle Nachum came from Lakewood and we went bowling and went to Elis favorite steakhouse. On Wednesday together with Uncles Nachum and Reuven we went fishing for the day which we all thoroughly enjoyed. On Thursday the counselor that was meant to accompany Eli on his trip to Florida came in and took Eli alone to Universal Studios. Thank you so much Chai Lifeline, Yakov Jeidel and of course the special counselor Eliyahu Katz.

As far as treatments and appointments there were none BH this week and we don’t yet have the schedule for next week but it will probably consist of a lot of blood work as well as a bone marrow check. Based on those results it will then IYH be decided what further treatments and when Eli will have them.

Unfortunately the Tehilim list seems lately to only grow. Please have in mind Malka Braindel Bas Shaina Shifra a 5 year old who has relapsed for the 3rd time. Chaya Mushka Bas Haddassa Shayna. Golda Bas Miriam. Hillel Sholom Shachneh Ben Rivka. Elimelech Ben Basya all of the above are young children suffering from similar machlas and are in need of our tefilos.

As a side note when I don’t post anything it means BAH all is ok and we don’t want any Ayin Hora so we keep it at nothing.

A GUT SHABOS

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”
