Family in Crisis - Legal Fees Urgently Needed
Donation protected
Naphtali and Esther Bitton have been blessed with 2 special needs boys, these boys are loving charming and unique however come with their challenges. As the boys are growing older their inability to communicate verbally is causing much frustration and they are in need of a specialised home to cater for their disabilities.
Initially the local authority refused to accept that the family needed help. Due to this, the family decided to seek legal help. The lawyers were appalled at the council's decision and the general treatment towards Naphtali, Esther, and the Children.
The lawyers have so far managed to persuade the local authority to provide for at least a 12-week respite for Moshe with a review after the 12 week period. They have only agreed to this in a non-Jewish placement which does not accommodate any of their Jewish requirements including Kosher Food. Our lawyers have identified this as discrimination and have challenged this in court.
The final court hearing is on 6th February 2021, there have been various proceedings already which have incurred high legal costs, we now need a final push that BOTH boys get the care they need in a Jewish Institution in London called Bayis Sheli.
