Dear Friend,

For three years, eight months and twenty-one days, our daughter Chaya Mushka O.B.M. lived furiously with joy and passion, determined to give to the world around her. Now she no longer can. But we could.

Chaya Mushka's life was a gift. Everyone who met her was drawn to her intense love for life, her fierce insistence to live every moment to the fullest.

She valiantly fought her illness for eight months and never allowed herself to be defined by it. No matter the condition of her physical body, she was defiantly herself, her sparkling personality shining through. Even just days before her passing, her eyes closed in her hospital bed, she lay stringing necklace beads for her mother. And in her struggle against her illness and with her passing, she inspired thousands throughout the world to do good deeds. (Visit the website created in her honor, www.chayamushkasgift.org, and tell us about your Mitzva and good deed.)

In her memory a fund was established to bring the joy she experienced while ill to other children in similar situations. To continue her impact and inspiration by supporting and encouraging the performance of Mitzvot - good deeds. With your contribution you can keep her legacy alive.

Thank you,
