Google Tzur foundation. See if you can apply for clothing and shoe gift cards. They expire a week after sukkos.

I just googled it thanks. Firstly I don’t see a way to apply. Secondly, is it location specific? I can’t tell from the website

If you post an email address, I would be happy to send you an Amazon gift card.

Or to anywhere you'd like, as long as it can be emailed to you.


Thanks I’m not comfortable posting my email because I don’t know if this is only seen on this website but if you pm me I will give it to you. I don’t mean to make extra work being that you are helping me, but I’ve heard of people finding out info from this site. Thanks!!

Ok I'm asking this out of genuine desire to know if it can even be feasible for me. What do you do for childcare before and after work hours?


I work remotely in a salaried position. They actually get to school before work hours because drop off is at 8:15 and my husband and I both start at 8:30. After school, I pay for aftercare every day of the week but Friday. Because I work remotely in a flexible position it's okay if I take off when needs arise. My work is project-based, so I just have to get done what needs to get done each week/month, and sometimes that means after hours, but not always.

Just want to come on here and say I’m so touched by the generosity of people here. You don’t know, but it’s changed my yom tov and my life. I hope I can give back one day really soon.

I want to come back on here and say 2 things.
Firstly I am blown away by the chesed of some people on this site. One person helped with clothes for my pre teen, two helped with food for yom tov and a few more offers to mail me clothing. I’m just blown away. We are very frugal and the money we got went a long way. Due to the money from some here, from the shul and the money for yom tov food, plus the program for debt consolidation we are B”H caught up on quite a few things. It’s an amazing feeling you don’t even know and we could not have done it on our own. I also asked for a different job within my company with more hours and I’m hoping it pans out.

I do want to say we are very frugal in general. I had meat left from pesach that was frozen and stretched it for Rosh hashana one meal and 2 meals of sukkos. The rest I made chicken of some sort, I am able to have money left over for second days too where maybe I will buy a small roast from the money people gave me.

Right now there is one more area of need that I can identify that is expensive and necessary, and I don’t want to go into debt for. I need new bras for myself. I have 2, one which is frayed by the wire and they are both almost 2 years old. I am a hard size (34G) so can’t just shop cheap. If anyone can help out with bras (if you have that size and can donate or can help with paying for it I would be so so grateful).

Thanks so much! I don’t even know where to shop. Maybe Nordstrom, or bravissimo online or Amazon.

Btw, there's a local bra gemach and I tried it once. Most of the sizes were uncommon, like yours.
You can call the lady who houses the gemach (its mrs.d's gemach, but not housed in her basement) and ask her if she has that size. Its in CH though. I'll PM the name

For Amazon you can make a gift list registry thing, add the bra, and then someone else can purchase it for you and it will be sent to the address you choose.

Here's a link that should help

Btw, simcha's has bras in a back room of her store. Same price in my opinion, as macys, but she has a very limited number of styles and brands.
