My husband has been out of a job since last January and to say that we are struggling is not even a word. Every month that passes is a miracle and each one that comes is a new challenge. Shabbos being the highlight of the week has become a dread due to the extra expenses. About a month ago a close friend told me to join Tomche Shabbos. At first I was so embarrassed and reluctant to call but I am so happy I did. This has been such a tremendous help. Shabbos expenses have lowered considerably! Mi Ka Amcha Yisrael. Hashem should bench you ad bli day for this incredible chesed.
