Its very rare that you come across an organization, that almost every single dollar goes to the actual cause with no overhead. I take no salary , my wife schtichya takes no salary ( we have one hired person and that's only cause we have no choice ) and we have to raise thousands and thousands and thousands for chasanim and kallos from all over. Honestly it isn't easy , but i don't regret a moment of my wife's involvement and am extremely proud of her. This truthfully is a labor of love , cause no one in his right mind would put up with the pressure , nerves, heart ache and sometimes plain rudeness and insensitivity as well.Together with that there are some stories that can break your heart as well. My wife doesn't only just arrange for the funds to be raised . She meets with the chassn and kallah (and or their parents), guides them through every step, and becomes their weeding planner , guide and all round source of information. Her cell phone doesn't stop ringing. In my house, I am usually waiting up till twelve thirty or one am , so we can finally have some time to talk . yep she is that busy during wedding season. That said she does find time to balance being a loving mother and wife with all that as well. sounds easy huh? As for my self , a few times , I go around and raise funds , usually during yom tov timers such as before the high holidays and Purim.From time to time , i attend a board meeting as well.However honestly most of my spare time is involved with raising my children.
