or a suggestion. One of the single mother's in my group is in despirate need for a water dispencer for shabbos. She recently caught a bad bug, and was extremely embarassed to ask..

As most of the women in my group we do not have alot of money... so I am hoping to find a Gemach or a cheap version. I will be in NY next week on tuesday (July 4th, G-d willing).

I cannot remember the proper terms for it.. I guess it's properly described as an electric thermos with a pump?

aka a "Pump Pot", although some items by this name are just big Thermoses and not electric appliances.

yeah, they're not cheap. I have been through three in my history.

I'd love one for pesach but it's another $50 or so...

before pesach there are often sales, too, but that sale one that I saw was only a huge one. I ended up paying double for something half the size. also the sale one was white and I knew it would get gross looking.

I stuck with a silver and black one.
