Jacqui and Yitzchak Rosen and their children took a local beach holiday.
The night before the family was due to drive home, Yitzchak Rosen went to take the rubbish out of their apartment rental and never came back.
Yitzchak was found hours later, unconscious, having suffered severe head injuries and hypothermia. He was airlifted to the Alfred hospital, where surgeons worked furiously to try to save his life. Unfortunately, this was not to be.
There are now four young children without a father, the primary income earner. The medical battle is over but the emotional turmoil and harsh financial realities are just beginning. Yitzchak was a 36 year old lawyer with an emerging practice. They were a young couple, actively involved in their community. Without his income, Jacqui will not be able to deal with the expenses that lie ahead. Jacqui and their children have already endured too much. We must rally around them as a community to help Jacqui and their children during this tragic time and assist them in the future.
With thanks to Melbourne Jewish Charity Fund, funds raised will go directly to support Jacqui and their 4 children for living expenses, medical insurance and meeting the family’s immediate needs while they grieve this immense loss.
