| Just curious. He and his family have been on my mind. |

| Wondering the same. I taught him at Tilden. Have considered sending a card, but worried it was weird. |

NP: I don’t think that’s weird. Send the card! |

| They are still describing his injuries as life-threatening and he is asking for people to perform a daily mitzvah on his behalf. |

Yes send the card. How nice to know that your child made an impact on a teacher such that they remember them fondly years later. It is nice to know your loved one mattered! |

Beautiful idea and manifestation of goodness. |

Absolutely send the card. Anyone else should, too. From FB:
Another friend of Eyal’s is asking students/parents to send him well wishes. If anyone would like to send a card or letter, the info is: Eyal Haddad C/O Walter Johnson High School Attn: Counselor Rocky Wood 6400 Rock Spring Dr Bethesda, MD 20814 |

| Do you think it is okay for people who don’t know him to send a card? I’m in Fairfax but think of this boy and the little girl who died every day. |

| WJ students have been encouraged to send wishes. The family is strictly Kosher, so be careful with food gifts. |

True. See A Mitzvah for Eyal on Facebook. |

| He wasn't hit by the bus. A driver hit him with a Jeep as he was going to get on the bus. |

Another WJ parent here. Yes, please do send a card. He's in my son's senior class (although my son doesn't know him directly). I cannot see how it would be inappropriate to send him or his family a card in support wherever you're from.
It is hard to stop thinking about Eyal and especially about the 9-year-old who was killed. I don't live in the exact neighborhoods they were hit in, but the layouts and the lack of sidewalks are all too familiar. Not to mention the crazy drivers like the one who hit Eyal who just don't pay attention. |

Think of the daily mitzvah - a simple act of kindness every day until he is well. We will do that.
