he also has a
challenging medical condition
in which his femur has not grown in one leg.
There is a medical procedure available in the USA
which will cost $100000 and
Kobi's grandmother

The Glenfield IGA

A
coast guard cutter is on patrol in the Gulf of Mexico,
off the coast of
Florida,and they spy a small boat.
As
they approach, they see that it is a small row boat
occupied by four
Mexicans.
The
Captain gets on the loud-hailer and shouts,
“Ahoy, small craft.
Where are you headed?”
One of the Mexicans puts down his oar, stands up, and shouts,
“We are invading the United States of
America to reclaim the territory
taken by the U.S. during the 1800’s.”
The entire crew on the destroyer doubles over in laughter.
When the Captain finally catches his breath
, he gets
back on the loudspeaker and asks,
“Just the four of you?”
The same Mexican stands up again and shouts,
“No, we’re the last four.
The other 12 million are already there!”
