Thank you, Rabbi Lieder, not only for your financial help but also for the hour-long conversation on the phone tonight.
​
As we discussed, I am going through a major crisis with two of my children. There is so much running through my head right now and I don’t know what to do. At times I feel like giving up, and I say to myself, “Enough, I can’t do it anymore.”
​
Your active listening and valuable advice came at just the right time. You gave me hope and encouragement, and I now feel that I can continue being the mother my children so desperately need.
I will forever be grateful to you and to the entire team of the Jewish Family Centre.
​
Good night,
MG
