From a thank-you letter I received:
I want to thank you for your kindness and I would like to share with you the following.
More than two weeks ago we ran out of heating oil. As we already owed the oil company more than $2,000 and we were approaching April, I figured we should be able to squeeze through a few cold days without heat.
(When the heat is on in your home regularly you don’t fully realize and appreciate what it means to live in a warm home. So for a couple of weeks we were cold and froze quite a bit. I tried to keep the family warm by telling them warmer weather is on the way.)
As we were right before Pesach and it was still cold, and we were also hosting little children who would be celebrating Pesach with our family, it became clear that it was dangerous for them to be in a cold house.
I took the … you sent me plus … and paid off the oil company. They are on the way now to deliver oil so we can have not only a kosher Pesach, but a warm and freilichun Yom Tov.
Thank you for keeping our family warm!
When you will be sitting at your seder table you should know that you helped make another family's seder warm and freilach.
Thanks again,
