Just thought I would share this site. The fund was set up by Leiby's parents and family rabbi just yesterday morning. In just a little over 24 hours, contributions total over $60,000!
http://www.give2gether.com/projects/help-support-leiby-kletzky/
Here is a little bit from the site...
"Leiby can never give his mother and father a goodnight kiss anymore.
Leiby can never smile sweetly to anyone anymore.
Leiby can never play with his sisters again.
Leiby can never bring home another report card.
Leiby can never become Bar-Mitzvah.
Leiby can never pray anymore.
Leiby can never receive a graduation diploma.
Leiby can never turn into a mature young man and marry.
Leiby can never have and hold any children.
Leiby can never invite any guests over for a meal.
Leiby will never do all the acts of charity and kindness he would have done had he been granted more years to live.
But Leiby’s memory can and will live on through the Leiby Kletzky Memorial Fund established by his grieving parents and sisters.
Your generous contribution to the Leiby Kletzky Memorial Fund will accomplish all the wonderful things that Leiby would have achieved - had he lived.
The Fund will:
* Help young orphans cope with tragedy
* Help indigent families feed their children
* Help troubled children at risk.
* Help needy children falling behind in school
* Help poor parents clothe their children in dignity
* Help critically ill young children
* Help penniless couples to marry
* Help families going through a critical time in their lives
... and much much more!"
