Refuah Shleima to your Mom.

Definitely contact RCCS - they were able to work miracles for me. Rabbi Meisels personally had the world's top doctor (no exaggerations, here) for my type come home from safari in Africa a day early to accommodate MY schedule (the yumim tovim were coming up and we had to start chemo). Unbelievable what they are capable of doing.

Chai Lifeline was also very helpful. They're definitely more geared towards children, but were able to help me a lot.

Unfortunately, my daughter (Michal Bas Fraida) has CA and is going through the process and IYH your mother, my daughter and all cholim should have a quick refuah shelaymah. Here's two things I want to add (to Chai Lifeline and RCCS - both a must):
Check with your medical insurance. My daughter got a beautiful shaitel covered by Oxford! The shaitel company has to be legit. Second, call Social Security. There's some kind of benefit that comes through them. A friend of ours has a son with CA who's 19 years old and never worked. I heard he's collecting $700 a month. I don't know details or the rules on that, but you have nothing to lose by calling them.
Again, a refuah shelaymah bekorov!

@xodus8 You can send them to me and I'll have them looked over. (unfortunately I can't personally donate as I'm about to go $250,000 in debt, but I'll verify for you.)

But as mentioned up thread when it is a long standing member they will get a much better response because more people know them.

I thank G-d I have been blessed and hope to continue to be blessed that I do not have to ask for charity. It is one of the hardest things a person has to go through in a bad situation. And I pray no one on DDF ever has to ask for charity, but when people do it is touching to see the response.

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

I recently became involved in a hachnasas kalla and found that through some hard work dealing with people and organizations I was able to put together (in pledges so far!) much more than can possibly be raised on DDF.
So to the OP I am really sorry to hear about your mother and you really should call all of the above mentioned organizations. Even if they can't help chances are they can point you in the right direction. ויה"ר שתזכה לרפואה שלמה בקרוב בתוך שאר חולי ישראל

Not appropriate.  Like with meshulachim, you have no obligation to give.  If you're bothered about the clutter, I can think of plenty of threads (we are in JS after all) that have far less tachlis than this one.
If you don't care why would you comment?

I'm going to have to agree with chuchem on this one. Let me begin by wishing the OPs mother a speedy Refuah Shaleima!

Although this forum doesn't have a mission statement, the description of every board is it's mission statement. There are many places where raising money would be appropriate but this is just not the place. Yeki89 was a one time exception.

Not that this belongs in this thread, but if you mention it, I just have to +1 you.
Since the conga thing, its getting increasingly boring here.
Every few seconds, another 5 posts asking about the same old garbage that has been discussed a gazillion times.
Not to mention the new threads.
The members back in '08, '09 had it so easy.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.
