A Frum family I know is dealing with treatments for a mental illness.
The cost are prohibitively expensive and the family simply can not come up with the huge sums of money needed.
I'm looking for advice or help in raising money on their behalf.
It's a matter of Pikuach Nefesh, literally and figuratively.
Please contact me via PM.
Thank you.

There is a list of Bikur Cholim's around and you can try calling each one on the list. They won't all give money, but many will. I believe BP Bikur Cholim used to have such a list.

Also, contact Relief and see what they can do or advise.

going privately for $50,000 is a lot of money.
There is a center that offers good frum  therapists in Lakewood, covered by the state, and supported by our tax $.


Would that be helpful?

I know people who are happy with them.

PM me for more info.

What do you mean?

Menucha always writes "PM for more info".
Notoriously when she wouldn't give the price or location for the apartment she wanted to rent out. ::)
