First of all, let me wish your entire family chizuk and your mum a refua sheleimo
I dont think such zedakka events should be held here.
ddf forums was made to discuss deals, travel.... yeki was a long standing member and if he decided to post a zedakka case people knew it was urgent, but i dont see why every new member, that didnt do much for the ddf in the past should just start a fundraising. soon it will be like a shachris here, to get to the beth medras i have to pass all meshulochim. I think there is a time and place for everything, but not here....a lot of the longtime members dont write alot on the forums anymore, as every day there is another thread on the same subject and its very hard to see whats tachlis...this will not help the site at all
sorry if i sound very to the point, but these are my feelings on the matter
