שכח פאר די אפדעיט. אנדערש ווי ביי געוויסע בקשו רחמים קאמפיינס ווי מ' אפדעיט נישט די ציבור מיט די רעזולטאטן און ווען איינער האט די "העזה" זיך אינטערעסירן אויף די מצב ווערט מען פארשריגן
איך בין דאך א סאטמער'ער, קען מען מיר נישט אזוי שנעל פארקויפן קיין מעשות, און איך גלייב נאטורלעך נישט אזוי שנעל קיין מופתים...
למעשה האב איך פערזענליך גערעדט יעצט מיט דער וואס האט עס פארציילט אז בדידיה הוי עובדא. יא, ס'איז הונדערט פראצענט אן אמת'ע מעשה. ס'איז אהרן בן חנה'ס ברידער מיט זיין שכן וואס האט געהאט די עקסידענט.
צדקה תציל ממות!!
די מעשה איז ממש ווי די גמרא פארציילט דארט פון שמואל מיט דעם שטערן זעער וואס האבן געזען דעם טויטן שלאנג אין יענעמ'ס ריקזאק נאך וואס יענער איז פון הימל געווען נידון למיתה אבער ער האט רחמנות געהאט אויף אן עני וכו' און דער איד האט ניטאמאל געוואוסט אז ער איז יעצט ניצול געווארן פונעם שלאנג.
מ'טוט קיינעם נישט קיין טובה ווען מ'געט צדקה. אמאל זעהט מען עס אויף די וועלט און אמאל נישט! אין בעל הנס מכיר בניסו.
מיט צופרידענהייט ווערט געמאלדן אהרעלע איז ב"ה אהיימגעקומען. די שריט איז אינטערגענומען געווארן נאכדעם וואס די האום ווי ער האט זיך אויפגעהאלטן איז אריין אינטער לאקדאון צוליב די קאראנע וויירוס, און די משפחה האט באשלאסן אז ס'איז בעסער ער זאל זיין אינדערהיים.

Dear Ben AviDov I’m sure you remember our son-in-law Reb Arele Oster, the Yungerman who underwent a quadruple amputation in 2019,onated to save our son/son-in-law’s life at that critical time.
Words can never express how grateful we all are, especially our daughter, his wife, and her kinderlach, for saving their Tatty and bringing him to where he is today.
I want to share a short update on ר’ אהרן בן חנה with you, who came to his rescue close to 5 years ago.
It started on Erev Pesach when Arele’s organs suddenly began to shut down, leading to a total septic shock, and it did not look like he would survive. with open miracles, he did survive but endured some brain damage and was completely paralyzed unable to ,move even his head and neck. Shortly after, the doctors had no choice but to amputate all four of his limbs R”L.
During that hard time, almost five years ago, we turned to Klal yisroel to be Arele’s arms and legs, and Klal Yisroel’s response was loud and clear.
Your outpouring of support during that historic campaign has sustained Arele throughout the past 4+ years. Immediately after the surgery, we began his road to recovery with intensive therapy accompanied by family ad friends constantly at his side, beginning at a rehab in Boston and ultimately closer to home in New Jersey.
Throughout the next year, while progress was being made, Arele remained bed bound with limited memory recovery and very minimal movement with his limbs. Our hopes and dreams for his recovery were still far in distance. When would he sit up in a chair or even stand?When would he remember old friends and start learning with his chavrusa again? When would he finally be able to come home? We knew he would, but when?
And then Covid-19 hit. Immediately, all the therapies and outside visits came to a halt, and Arele became completely isolated from his family. During those first few weeks of Covid, when nursing homes and rehabs were among the hardest hit, we knew that for him to be left alone was life-threatening. Unable to talk, walk, or care for himself in the most basic ways, we had just one choice: Arele must come home! But to where and how?
Thanks to the tremendous generosity of the thousands of yidden, we were able to accomplish this life-saving endeavor by buying a house fitted to his medical needs. With the help of expert therapists and aids, we’ve been caring for him ever since.
Though it was a drastic undertaking, at an enormous cost, little did we know the השגחה עליונה this would lead to. The care at home propelled Arele’s recovery to an entirely new level, B”H!
The thousands of hours of private therapy surrounded by his wife and children in the comfort of their home changed Arele’s life:
He can now move 100% of his body and actively joins family simchas, shabbos meals at our home , and all 3 tefilos every shabbos at his home.
He is walking with prosthetic legs, with the help of a walker and some supervision, finally standing up to receive an aliyah at the Torah.
He is working very hard on standing and balancing on his own to be able to walk independently.
He has regained significant parts of his long term memory, including entire sugyos in Gemara that light him up!
His arms are still a great struggle and a continuous work in progress, he has preliminary prosthetics that allow him to work on a computer, eat with some independence, and hold on to his walker .
Every tiny step in Arele’s recovery so far is in your זכות! In fact, numerous people have seen personal ישועות that they attribute to the זכות of easing the life of this בעל יסורים.
However, with the above being said, the road to recovery is still very, very long. Bringing Arele to where he is today was extremely costly. As you can understand, the ongoing therapy, living expenses, and his inability to earn a living to support his family continue to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, which is, unfortunately, becoming harder to fund.
Therefore, just five years ago when Klal Yisroel showed us so clearly that we are not alone in our care for Arele, we are humbly reaching out to ask if you can become שותף (partner) in his continued progress and, ultimately, his full recovery!
We want to ensure that Arele’s family and his road to recovery are secured for the long haul.
Can you give $10 or $18 on a monthly basis? or even $180 or $250? the very fact of your partnership, even a one-time donation, is a refuah in itself. וכל המוסיף מוסיפין לו מן השמים-and all who add, receive additional from Hashem.

Thank you to all of you who continue to have אהרן בן חנה in mind in your tefillos; it means so much to us.
From the depths of our hearts and with all our being, thank you!
