Any store in boro park that will give me goods like food for pesach or clothing and dry goods, shoes (for teanagers) if I lower myself and show them on paper documentation my childs condition he has that started almost a year ago? 10 percent coupons will not help me this year I still need to pay 90percent. Williamsburg or Flatbush or Queens might also be Ok

I am so sorry that you are struggling.

Can you get a letter from your rabbi, stating that you are genuinely in need? People are wary about helping others without someone to verify the information.

I hope your son has a refuah sheleimah, and all your needs are met for a happy Pesach.

I doubt a store would give you free stuff. Most stores will be wary to give away things, unless the owner knows your family. What type of condition does your kid have that stores should give you free things? Maybe sign yourself up for tomchei shabbos & go get food from masbia's pantry.

I’m afraid the experience will be too humiliating for you.
You’re better off reaching out to organizations who have connections with wealthy individuals who can assist you.

There are plenty organizations that can help you. If he has a medical condition there are org that help with those.
There are also plenty food handouts for pesach from orginazations, kehilla or even from govt for pesach without having to show your need.
Contact your Jewish council to get vouchers for pesach food

It would be a difficult precedent for a store owner to establish.
Why don’t you post sizes and what you need. Maybe some of us can help out.
Please ask Yael to post a verification of you on this thread.

Sorry for your difficult situation.

I am so sorry you're dealing with this. Can you post the sort of things he needs? Someone here might know someone who runs a gemach or is generous with discounts at their store.

I’m so sorry.
I don’t want you to have to endure any more humiliation.
There are shuls that fundraise for kimcha d’pischa.
Can you speak to your Rav and find out if this exists in your shul?

DH does not cooperate so it makes very dificult. Maibe he thinks Hashem will send him an envelope straight. Can I call his Rabbi behind his back. He might be furious

Please post sizes that you need and maybe someone can help.
Also please reach out to your children's school and sign up for the children's new YT clothes program.
Wishing you all a yeshua!

These fundraising campaigns are supposed to be confidential.
One idea would be to ask the Rav not to mention your request to your husband as it will hurt his pride.
Ask him if the money could be sent directly to your supermarket or other store and applied to your account.
If your husband asks where the money came from, tell him it must have come from an organization or anonymous benefactor.

It will come from Hashem in an indirect way.

Mens undershitrs size medium and extra large. It should be VCut short sleeve.

All other clothes can be used). soks for mens shoe size 8 and socks for mens shoe size 11. plain black. Its unbeliavable things get worn out and torn. All other stuff can be used but decent.

If you found these in your closet or want to buy please put your screen name and We will see how to do this. TIA
