[chicago-aneinu] Fwd: Scam on Touhy

In addition to the individual below, there were reports of a break-in in the area earlier today. The suspects, three young African-American males, apparently were first knocking on doors to see if anyone was home -- if someone answered the door, they pretended to be involved in landscaping work. If this happens to you, please contact the police.

[chicago-aneinu] Fwd: Community Safety


Dear Family,


We received this email from a member of our Beis Medrash a short while ago:

"There is an individual trying to scam money from residences and business on and around Touhy, usually with a scam story like "my son needs asthma meds" or "my car broke down". This individual rang my door at 3 am two weeks ago with this story and, after calling 911 and having this person caught and arrested... he was supposed to be locked up for 20 days in County Jail. He was apparently let out early and went right back to the neighborhood to scam more people. This picture was taken less than an hour ago at Kesher Stam where he tried a scam.... this person has a rap sheet or convictions of home break-ins and this cannot be tolerated in our community."

Here is the picture:

I usually don't pass things on like this, but we happen to know the family. Our whole community has been shaken by this tragedy. Any help, including (especially) your tefilot, is appreciated.

Feel free to pass along this email - though not in a spam-like way.

If need be, I can vouch for the organization that initiated the email - Lemaan Achai. In addition to seeing the amazing work that they do to help the poor in our community, I also volunteer there.

Chag Kasher v'Sameach

====================

The victim of last week's utterly evil missile attack on a school bus, is local Bet Shemesh/RBS resident Daniel Viflic, aged 16.

Daniel is in critical condition - and his family asks all of us to daven for his survival and recuperation (Raphael Daniel Arieh ben Tamar). The coming hours are extremely important.

Lema'an Achai, the RBS Chesed Organization, is coordinating all efforts to help the family, shoulder to shoulder with our colleagues at "One Family" (who specialise in assisting Terror Victims) and "Paamonim" (who specialise in financial and small business structuring).

* How You Can Help *

The Viflic family run a small catering business, and right now (coming up to Pessach) was planned to be their peak season.

Due to the horrific circumstances the Viflic's are now suffering, the business will be non-existent during this period. Unfortunately, there is no cash reserve to fall back on.

In order to float the business and the family until after Pessach, $10,000 is immediately needed.  

This is a definite and immediate need. Depending on Daniel's progress, there will likely be other financial impact also.

A special Emergency Fund has therefore been established for the Viflics, by Lema'an Achai.

Please
 
a. *After* you have given your regular kimche depischa/maot chitim donation, please ALSO donate generously to the "Terror Victim Fund - Viflic"

b. Please, add your personal recommendation to the top of this email, and send this emergency appeal to your close friends, family, shul lists, and others who may be interested to help the Viflic family (but please don't spam).
