I’m sorry I guess it was poor judgement. I thought it will was a better presentation since my friend is not on imamother. I was posting as if it was her. On her behalf.

So sorry for their stress. Hashem should help them find jobs and they should build Batei Neeman BeYisroel!
May I suggest they do what I did and my own children also did - look or second hand or give away furniture.
What did they learn in Sem? (Please know that my married, loving parents couldn't afford to send me to seminary so I didnt go, nor did I get so much as a towel from them - not that I expected. They did not have. I took whatever jobs I could get and honestly I got more from the jobs than money. )
Honestly wishing the girls much hatzlacha in everything.

kallahs should not need to stress about finacials before weddings! |
Only after the wedding they need to stress about financials? Come on, getting married means working it out and managing with what you have.

Exactly. Before we were even officially engaged, DH and I sat down and crunched numbers.
We weren't getting a penny of support from anyone besides ourselves.
We had to figure out what we could afford for rent and then find an apartment that fit our budget. That's what adults who are getting married do.
I don't think we are so unique.

You are right. Things work out at the end. Sometimes better than people that get everything from their family. They are like you they have the right attitude. So they are ok.

To pass the hat among the posters here. I'm going to report my own post to have OP and her cause, verified by Yael. Asking for donations, or selling something on imamother, needs to go through her.

Ok I didn’t ask for money. I’m a long time member here. I’m sure that they know about help in their location. I was trying to find help that they don’t know.
