Stories of Hope & Healing
“No words can express our deep הכרת הטוב for all you’ve done for us during our prolonged stay here in Boston. You’ve provided for us a place to call “home” while being so far away for 2 ½ months, and going as far as to provide us meals, games for the kids, complete Shabbos packages and so much more…”
“We came to an unfamiliar location and you were there to guide us every step of the way. You were so readily available and so easily reachable. When we came to the apartment we were so pleased to find a warm and cozy place away from home—that was sparkling clean and well stocked. When we saw the doll and game in the table, we felt so touched. It was exactly what our daughter enjoys. She brought it to the hospital with her, and it really took a lot of the anxiety out of the hospital experience.”
