Cohen family story

Surgeries and hospital visits became routine for years.The children underwent surgeries and received bone marrow transplants from their siblings. Nonetheless, there are still many tasks ahead.The Cohen children's rare illness means they must visit various doctors each week, as there's no specialized center for their condition. The constant appointments in different hospitals are overwhelming, as Mrs. Cohen shares, "We have no time to live..."

The Cohen family, with eight members, resides in a 1000 sq ft apartment. Mr. Cohen works as a rav in a yeshiva, while Mrs. Cohen teaches. Their income of $3300 a month, supplemented by minimal government aid, covers rent, utilities, food, medical expenses, and clothing. Mrs. Cohen, focused on caring for their sick children, worries about their other four kids, saying, "We don't have time to live, to grow our children."Their story wasn't about despair or pity but rather about the resilience of the human spirit. Every day, the Cohens meet their challenges with unwavering courage, demonstrating remarkable faith, dedication, and a deep love of God.
