It was a moment that should have been filled with warmth and anticipation. Erev Pesach, with families around the world preparing for the Seder. But in one Crown Heights home, the joy turned into heartbreak.
Ilana Bluming, a vibrant young mother of five, including a three-week-old newborn, suddenly suffered a devastating stroke.
Just days earlier, she had been cradling her infant son. Now, she fights to recover, as her husband, Rabbi Avrohom Bluming, is left to shoulder the immense burden of caring for the family, physically and emotionally.
This young family needs us—urgently.
Baruch Hashem, there is hope. Doctors are optimistic, but the path to recovery is long and costly.
The family is in desperate need of:
Full-time infant and childcare
Household assistance
Medical and therapy support for Ilana’s rehabilitation
Emotional support for the children
Ongoing expenses that continue to rise
These are the days of Sefiras HaOmer, a time of cultivating Ahavas Yisroel. There is no better moment to demonstrate real, tangible care.
Every donation helps. Every share matters. Every tefillah counts.
Let’s bring back hope. Let’s carry this family through the storm.

Our community needs to have an awareness event emphasizing the signs of stroke and immediate urgency to call hatzola. Many young people are unaware of signs of stroke. There are more and more cases of young people suffering strokes in past two months, lo aleinu, rachmana litzlan. Please can someone take this event on?? Moshiach now!
Five young children AND two young bochurim!
To be clearer- this is Ilana Verter from Highland Park, NJ that was heavily involved with the YAM program in the late 1990’s/early 2000’s. She helped a lot of Jewish girls stay strong in their Yiddishkeit. As Ilana Gootblatt she was a shlucha in Woodstock, NY and after that time period she would teach Torah at Beis Levi Yitzchak
shul in Crown Heights. Now, Ilana Bluming needs our payback to help with her recovery to return home to her young children and newborn baby in a fully functioning way! Moshiachnow!!
