<div>Dearest family, friends, and friends of friends...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have been incredibly blessed to grow up with a <strong>kind, caring father</strong>. Talented, funny, giving, loved by his family and peers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A true mentsch.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now in his mid-70s, following the lasting effects of an aneurysm and strokes, and the isolation of Covid, <strong>our dear Abba, Nosson, now requires full-time care. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Nosson grew up in Israel,</strong> served in the IDF, and <strong>lost almost his entire unit in the Yom Kippur war.</strong> He raised a religious family in NY and was <strong>always there to lend a helping hand to family, friends or those in need </strong>in the community from the time he was a young man.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His absolute <strong>genius at every trade skill </strong>is legendary - he could build a car or a house from scratch, and outwit any electronic device he came across. He once repaired a torn timing belt with a stocking. His elevator company consisted of just him and sometimes his 13-year-old son, when an otherwise entire team of workers would need to be hired. And he did the better and more efficient job.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are also talking about a man whose <strong>health and stamina were equally legendary.</strong> He once drove straight from NY to Florida with only a 30-minute nap on the side of the road - while experiencing a ruptured aneurysm that had already lasted a week (he didn't know, just felt a bit off).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Nosson has never lived extravagantly</strong>. But not being able to work for the past decade+, meager social security benefits, and need for thousands of dollars in medical bills, <strong>he cannot cover his cost of living while also paying off these outstanding debts. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He has two loving children, neither of whom have the means to meet the financial responsibilities required for his current situation. His daughter is a single mother who lives in Israel and has not been employed for a number of years due to a chronic health condition, and his son is raising a young family on limited means.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We were very fortunate to find excellent care for Nosson</strong> in one of the few Glatt kosher, Assisted Living facilities in Brooklyn, close to family and friends.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>THE FACILITY IS HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED BY MEDICAID BUT STILL BEYOND OUR MEANS.</strong> 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The monthly cost of $1400 per month includes full room and board, and basic medical services. There are other financial needs that come up in addition to this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are reaching out to you to <strong>help us</strong> <strong>help our Abba live with the caring dignity</strong> that all of us deserve, and the ability to live <strong>without the crippling anxiety of financial stress</strong> in his older years, <strong>or worse yet, lose the access to that care.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is our hope that gathering funds to help cover the costs of his care for the next 6-12 months will help him and us be at ease in mind, body and neshama, to take care of him in the best way possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>May you be sealed in the Book of Life for a good, healthy year. And for your families and communities, and all of Israel. Amen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Aviva and Elan Yisroel Kugel
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
