Dear Kupat Ha’ir
In June this year, my grandfather had a severe urinary tract infection. His blood pressure was unbelievably low, he was urinating blood, and had lost consciousness.
The Hospital he was in (Good Samaritan in Monsey N.Y.) was unsure about his recovery and placed him in the Critical Care Unit. There were numerous lines going into his body and he looked dreadful. I sent a $1,000 donation to your Tzedakah and within two days he was talking and eating again. He left the hospital about to weeks later and is now at home. From where he was to where he is bespeaks the miraculous.
