“I Don’t Even Have the Words to Thank You!”

Why so many families say the same thing about Adopt A Wedding

“I Don’t Even Have the Words to Thank You!”
is the line we see over and over again. From kallahs. From chossonim. From their parents. From relatives. From foster families. From teachers.

We receive numerous thank you letters each month from people who’ve been assisted (or who’ve helped others get assistance) through Adopt A Wedding. And more often than not, they begin with some version of the same line- “I don’t even have the words to thank you.”

Why People Are Left Speechless

I’m pretty sure it’s not from lack of creativity, an actual shortage of vocabulary or even AI (they've been writing the phrase for longer than AI has been in existence!). I think it’s because people are simply blown away, and honestly don’t know how to express themselves. The financial help Adopt A Wedding provides is certainly invaluable, enabling needy couples to make a dignified wedding without going into debt that would ordinarily trap them or their families for a lifetime. But it’s also the sensitivity with which people are helped by B’ezri’s staff - the discretion, respect, genuine compassion, care and a drive to help - that make the support even more meaningful. These factors combined are what enable families to celebrate their simcha with kavod and peace of mind.

Every Thank You Has a Story Behind It

The thank yous may begin the same way but each is unique, of course, in its message and the reasons behind the request. After all, every person has a story to tell.

“I have no words! ‘Thank you’ isn’t enough - this is truly an incredible act of chesed. I’ve been divorced for six years, raising my children completely on my own through many challenges. I was panicking at the thought of covering wedding expenses for my daughter. How could I do this alone? You are clearly messengers of Hashem, and only He can repay you doubly - may He do so.” Sara P.

“We have no words to describe how much this wedding help is making a difference for us. We are so grateful and appreciative for the support. My wife lost her job and hasn’t worked in months. Expenses have only been accumulating for our family. Paying for a wedding was not in the picture. May you be blessed with every bracha.” Avraham N.

“To B'ezri, we have no words to express our gratitude and appreciation. Baruch Hashem we have married off two children in the last couple of years- making another wedding has been impossible. Your help truly eases our burden - it makes a real difference, warms the heart, and brings joy. May Hashem repay you with overflowing brachos, hatzlacha, and health.” Nava & Mordechai S.

“I have no words. Just now, I was standing outside, wondering what I could do. I have no money for a wedding dress or a shaitel. My parents are in no position to help with any of my expenses. Then your message arrived - and it gave me chills! You have relieved tremendous anxiety for a kallah like me. May you continue to be Hashem’s shlichim and be zoche for many mitzvot.” Penina Z.

“To the staff and supporters of B'ezri. We don’t have enough words to express our tremendous thanks for the wedding support. Just this morning, I told my daughter, ‘I’m not worried - Hashem will help.’ And then later today we received your phone call. I truly feel like our tefillos were heard. You are malachim from Hashem! As it says:"מגלגלין זכות על ידי זכאי” Yosefa Z.

What Adopt A Wedding Makes Possible

“I don’t have enough words” are heartfelt words that are just a glimpse into what Adopt A Wedding support makes possible. Each year, we help close to 4,000 struggling families with stories of all kinds, celebrate their simchas. Families living paycheck to paycheck. Unemployed or single parents. Families already carrying the burden of previous weddings. Families with nowhere else to turn.

Our decades of experience, partnerships with gabbei tzedaka across Israel and dedicated and caring staff mean B’ezri knows what families are going through. We understand the pressure. And we want to help.

When Gratitude Is Too Big for Words

Sometimes, there really aren’t words big enough to express what it means when fear and worry are turned into relief and elation.
And that’s the beauty of it- your compassion may leave people speechless, but their joy and gratitude says it all.
