It was such anice thing to see such a diverse group of lakewooders. Chassidish yeshivish.heimish. A little more modern. White shirts blue shirts. T shirts. All together to help families going through difficult illnesses. It is interesting how all of our differences are meaningless in sickness. My only hope is that this town could act with such achdus and concern for another yid all the time as they did today. It was beautiful. And the joy I felt brought me back to the lakewood of old when we all cared about one another. Thank you mekimi for allowing me to be a part of your program

For all those who don't know what Mekimi does be happy you don't need their services. However you can still be part of the Mekimi family by either volunteering your time to assit or by giving a donation.
