Rabbi Pinchas Wosner from England told the following story:
There is an excellent eye doctor here in London, and people even travel from abroad to see him. My son had a vision issue that needed immediate intervention, and I made an urgent appointment to meet with this specialist.
I knew that the cost of this private appointment would be exorbitant, but the doctor’s expertise made the price worthwhile.
I had no idea how I’d pay for it. The night before the appointment I still didn’t have the money, but I assured my family that Hashem would take care of it for us. Baruch Hashem, I was able to sleep peacefully.
The next morning, I opened my front door to find that someone had pushed an envelope in between the door and the door frame, and inside it was the exact sum of money I needed to pay the doctor. This was a sum of money I was supposed to have receive well before Pesach, but somehow its delivery was detained until that day, when I needed it urgently.
If this obvious hashgachah of Hashem wasn’t enough, there is more to the story: At the end of our visit, the doctor wrote out a prescription for new glasses for my son, which were quite costly as well. With no initiative on my part, the doctor waived the fee. “You don’t need to pay for the new glasses,” he told me. “Let it be.”
When does a highly regarded specialist offer to waive a fee for glasses he prescribed? Only when Hashem wants to send us His love from Above. Hashem took care of my son’s vision issue from beginning to end. My hope and prayer is that he will use his eyes to learn Torah joyfully.
