“Our family was going through a
bad time and we really needed
professional help. My husband had
been out of work for six months
and I was both working and taking
care of the children and angry at
him all the time. How could we
possibly pay for therapy? When I
learned that you were willing to
cover the cost of our treatment, I
couldn’t believe it. My family and
I thank you very much. Things at
home are greatly improved. There
is less tension and fighting and we
believe that our sessions at Shiluv
did that for us. “
A thank you from the C. family
