Help A Family Out
« on: August 08, 2012, 12:24:46 PM »
My sister has a friend that we have been helping out financially for a while now. Frum, very nice family, 5 kids.

The husband lost his job recently and has bH recently found a new one (with some potential to move up in the long run), but they are still struggling with the bills that have accumulated in the interim.

My sister just told me that she is especially behind this week and asked me if I can try to put something together.

Obviously no pressure whatsoever, everyone has their own financial matzavs. No need to post here even, you can PM/email/text me.

If you think you can help (anything really, every dollar counts!), here is a link with the different instructions for payment: http://csikgh.org/Donate.html .

 

Donations are being processed through our shul which can then issue a tax receipt if wanted. That link has payment info for Paypal, Chase QuickPay, Credit Card, and a mailing address for checks.

Please refrain from any scam jokes etc, this is very serious. There is no shayla that this can count as maaser.

Note: I am trying to keep track for the shuls accountant of the donations so they don’t get mixed in with the shul finances, so if you could please PM/email me after donating with the following info it would be much appreciated:

 

1) Donation Amount

2) Donation Method (PP, AP, QP, Check, Etc)

3) Your Legal Name (to keep cheshbon of what's coming in)

4) Additionally, if you would like a tax receipt please include either an email or physical address.

 

Thanks,
Tizku Lmiztvos!

Update: The shul has Quickpay and they "used to" have PayPal (it seems like they should be able to get me the PayPal info but it may take a little while).

If you care about a tax return you can for now either do Quickpay or they have a CC terminal that they can take your CC info and charge whatever you want. If you don't care about a tax receipt then you can just PayPal me and I will Quickpay them.

Hope that wasn't too convoluted, tizku lmitzvos!

Here is a link with the different instructions for payment: http://csikgh.org/Donate.html

Please in the memo put "HelpFamily" so its clear what is for this, and you can PM me your personal info for the tax receipt.

Great, please just remember to put a note in the payment or at least tell me, because this is the shul account and don't want to mix it up with the shul finances.

Thanks and tizku lmitzvos!

It was QP with reference "HelpFamily"

Let me know if they didn't get it, so that I should be able to inform them.
