 “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. “
