The father of Rav Simcha Bunim of Pesishcha was Rav Tzvi Hirsh.  Rav Tzvi had a daughter who unfortunately was crippled. On a trip to a speaking engagement he had met Rav Dovid Lelover (the Lelover Rebbe). Upon mentioning that the Lelover Rebbe would be passing through Rav Tzvi’s home town, he asked him to do him a favor and deliver a few rubles to his family, which the Lelover was happy to do.  A few nights later, when he had reached Rav Tzvi’s home, he knocked on the door once, twice…  Finally the daughter, unable to walk down the stairs, opened her window to greet the passer-bye.  The Lelover Rebbe explained the situation and left the money in a safe place outside the door.  When the daughter thanked him and wished him a good evening, the Lelover Rebbe responded “zai gizunt” (you should be healthy) and left.

When Rav Tzvi returned home, he was greeted by his daughter running into his arms, shouting “Eliyahu had cured me.”  When she described the person that came to the house, Rav Tzvi soon realized the power of a holy Tzaddik’s words.
