But thanks to the Mitzvah Man, heroes come and read to him; take him to shul; and make us both feel loved. Every day you put a smile on his face and mine. Mrs. Pulsky Blessed with the Laundry As a single mother without steady income, was faced with a difficult situation, when her washing machine broke down completely. The very thought of having to bear the expense and inconvenience of doing the wash at the Laundromat for the foreseeable future was overwhelming and threatened to take a huge psychological toll. A kind neighbor heard about the situation and called MitzvahMan.

The Mitzvah Man heroes always put a smile on my face 56 COMMUNITY MAGAZINE
