Neil, alav hashalom, was a loving father, caring husband and a fantastic son. He was the rock of the Mansoor family but this year, on the second day of Succot Hashem decided that Neil's time in olam hazeh was up and his neshama was returned to the Creator. He left behind his young, amazing but grieving family.
Neil was a man of Torah and he did his upmost best to guide and bring up his family by the light of the Torah.
Neil was a man who was always there for anyone in need even at the peak of his terrible and painful illness. He was a humble, modest, G-D fearing and benevolent man. He helped people with a whole heart and never sought credit for anything he did. He was an upright and honest man and noone ever had a bad word to say about him.
Now though, Neil's family needs you. He has left behind a young and devoted wife, Chana Rivka and 3 young and confused children aged 2,3 and 5. Please let us all act with middah keneged middah and support Neil's family through chessed, just as he would have and so often did to anyone that approached him in a time of need.
Chanukah was one of Neil's favourite chaggim as it was a time of giving - something Neil loved to do. Let's not leave his family feeling hopeless and helpless. Let's shine light for them during their terrible plight of darkness and let their Chanukah miracle come true through your generosity and open hearts.
We can't bring Chana Rivka her husband back or her 3 young children their father back but we can help and support them in their difficult time of desperate and urgent need.
Thank you for any amount of tzedaka that you are able to give. Every bit of it will be so greatly appreciated by Neil's grief stricken family.
Tizku Lemitzvos. Have a wonderful Chanukah and may your chanukah bring light to you too.
