Nobody asks to be in a difficult financial situation. Being in the situation does not mean someone is a not a responsible person; it does not mean that they made poor choices, and it does not mean that they do not work hard. Rather, for whatever reason, HaKodosh Baruch Hu occasionally presents individuals and families with financial challenges and it is our privilege and our responsibility to do whatever we can to help.
