Moshe’s Site

Moshe was over the moon to recieve a laptop and a printer from Reach for a Dream. The King David schoolchildren raised the money to get it for Moshe. What a big smile. Moshe was given 3 wishes from Reach for a Dream. His 1st was a Ronaldo kit - all sweaty.. 2nd was the laptop and 3rd was to record a song in a studio. He got number 2. What a lucky boy.

His friend Kyle - got a Plasma screen TV for his room. His other friend Tumi - got a PSP and a TV.

The kids were treated like Kings by the King David Pupils. We were very impressed. Special thanks.

Reach for a Dream is always inviting the children on outings. Depending on the childrens bloods and whether they are in for chemo influences whether the kids can go.

Moshe was also invited together with Kyle and some of the other boys to hold up the flags at the cricket match last Sunday between SA and Bangladesh. The match was played in Benoni. Moshe held the Bangladesh and Kyle held the South African when the players went onto the field to sing their national anthems. They had a great day.

Bh today we went to the Donald Gordon and Moshe’s bloods were great. He is feeling good. What a brocha. Some of the kids at the hospital today were feeling tired and weak. Moshe is now chilling - listening to tapes and music. Has already done some Maths for today and will continue with his home schooling this afternoon. He is doing this every day now and is loving it.

Thank you for your continued healing, prayers and concern. Phone Moshe any time to ask how he is doing. He misses all his friends school and cannot wait to get back to school next year.

He has 2 more big chemos - next week and then 3 weeks later. Bh by the middle of December he will be over and then he will start maintenance. We look forward to having Moshe back in the swing. What a brocha that he is doing so well.

May all those having a difficult time in whichever areas find peace and health, calm and normalility. Amen.

Have a wonderful week and reach out to others. It makes such a difference.
We can see.

All our love

Hi Everyone,

This picture is of Moshe with all his Manchester United goods. He loves it as you can see.

Last Sunday night we started our 4 week learning program in the merit of a refuah shleima for Moshe.

It was wonderful of everyone to turn up for the learning. About 20 men and 15 women arrived and were inspired by great shiurim from Rabbi and Rebbetzin Steinhaus.

Quite a few people said they could only start coming next week so we are expecting an even bigger turnout next week. Is that not awesome?

Moshe has now had 18 radiotherapy sessions with only 10 remaining after which he will return to chemo treatments.

We will still post some photos of Moshe enjoying himself at his brother Benji’s barmi last week. I am waiting for the photos and then will tell you a bit more of Moshe’s escapades at the barmi. You will be quite impressed. Keep watching the site for more updates.

Love the Altschulers

Moshe is the greatest collector of soccer cards and he loves swapping with friends.

Good day all,

Something happened yesterday which makes us very proud of our dear son Moshe.

Yesterday we received a call from Reach for a Dream South Africa. They called to tell us they had 2 tickets available to meet the Manchester United Soccer team (this is the team that Moshe supports in the English soccer league).

They wanted to give Moshe one of these tickets which is like gold. What an opportunity to meet these great players face to face and get his soccer kit signed by the whole Manchester team! Truly a great opportunity and a dream for sports-loving boys.

We mentioned it to Moshe and immediately his eyes lit up and got so excited.

We said Moshe would love to meet the team and asked when and where we should go to meet them.

The lady on the other side of the telephone line said, “4.30pm Friday afternoon at Monte Casino”. Yes, that time is 45 minutes before Shabbat comes in and Monte Casino is 35 minutes from our house!

Moshe immediately understood and said to us, “Ok, so I cant go because we cant get back before Shabbat. It really does not matter”. And with that he carried on with what he was doing beforehand.

He still continues to be a Manchester United supporter.

He truly continues to set an example to us of a wonderful and glowing Jew. SHEKOACH MOSHE!

Shabbat Shalom,

Love the Altschulers
