Yehudis Safsal was married to her husband for nineteen years when he suddenly left her and her thirteen children.

“One day, my husband packed up his things and left our home. He now lives in England and is not allowed into the country.”

For an entire year, Yehudis waited for her husband to come back home...But her waiting was futile.

“That was it,” explains Yehudis. “All of my dreams of raising our children together disappeared. It was over. I am now raising our kids all alone.”

Although he agreed to give Yehudis a get (Jewish divorce document), her ex-husband doesn’t visit his children and refuses to pay child support. Yehudis, therefore, had to face the tremendously overwhelming challenge of taking care of thirteen children all on her own. She has stepped in as both mother and father and it’s been hard, to say the least:

Yehudis’s daughter’s wedding is fast approaching, but the newly single mom doesn’t even know where to begin. In fact, the young kallah doesn’t even have her wedding dress yet. Yehudis created a crowdfunding page, where she poured her heart out in a most vulnerable letter in which she humbles herself and asks those who are able to please help her. Those who wish to help Yehudis Safsal make a simple wedding for her daughter and to help a sweet young Kallah who has no father to help her can do so by clicking here.
