Nothing Is Impossible!"},"content":{"rendered":"

Alone it was impossible but together\u2026together nothing is impossible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ezer Mizion\u2019s Linked to Life, a WhatsApp group<\/strong> with many branches and hundreds in each branch, has proven this time and time again. One person needs. Another has an idea. A third has the means to make some headway and a fourth can complete it. Like the tickets story.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"ticket\"<\/a>
Working together, nothing is impossible.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A twenty year old disabled woman underwent difficult surgery with a lengthy rehab. Life hasn\u2019t been easy for her. She needed a pick-me-up. She dreamed of attending a major event being held in a few days. But attendance needed tickets and tickets were impossible<\/strong> to obtain.<\/p>\n

Did I say impossible? Under normal circumstances, it could never happen. But when we all work together, even the impossible becomes a reality. And so Rivi, the Yerushalayim Linked to Life coordinator, put out a request:<\/p>\n

Rivi: I know tickets are reserved for VIP\u2019s and sold out long ago. Can anything be done or is this just a pipe dream?<\/p>\n

Yossie: \u201cHow many tickets are needed?\u201d<\/p>\n

Rivi: \u201cTwo. For the girl and her father\u201d<\/p>\n

Chaya: \u201cIt\u2019ll be easier to get tickets for the general rehearsal; there are two, one today and one tomorrow\u201d<\/p>\n

Rivi: \u201cI already checked. No tickets left for general rehearsal.\u201d<\/p>\n

David: \u201cWho\u2019s in charge of the event that I can speak to?\u201d<\/p>\n

Several more postings\u2026<\/p>\n

What was that about impossible<\/strong>? Thirteen minutes after the initial post went up, Rivi posted: \u201cThanks everyone. We have two tickets.\u201d<\/p>\n

And sometimes it\u2019s geography that makes something impossible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Airplane\"<\/a>
Working together, nothing is impossible.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A patient in Israel urgently needs a stem cell transplant<\/strong>. His life is at stake and he cannot wait. A good possibility for a genetic match<\/strong> exists. A blood sample must be tested asap. But the donor lives in Argentina. Phones beeped and the wheels began to turn. It was not long until a small vial of blood was on a plane flying from Argentina to Israel. Now it was time for the next posting.<\/p>\n

At 10:03 p.m., a post went live: \u201cUrgent! We need someone who can receive a stem cell donor\u2019s blood sample arriving from Argentina at 2:30 a.m. and deliver it from the airport to Elad. Anyone up at this hour who can do it?\u201d<\/p>\n

At 10:04 p.m. (!), the response came: \u201cI\u2019m landing at 2:40 a.m. and going to Elad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Exquisite timing. Incredible heavenly assistance. <\/em>When we all work together?<\/p>\n
