Dear Ahavas Chesed,
I'm writing to thank you and all of your wonderful donors for helping us get married. We were told that, in addition to what you had already done for both of our families, you set up a special wedding fund for us and many kind people donated to help us get married.
Neither of us had any money and we didn't know how we could have a wedding. With your help we did and it was beautiful!
Thank you so much from both of us and our families.

When I had my baby (my first), I couldn't return to work and had no money to pay for anything. There was no one to help and I didn't even know how I would buy diapers.
While I was still in the hospital, a check suddenly appeared. I had never even heard of your organization. What a life saver!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I'm writing to thank everyone at Ahavas Chesed for coming to the rescue at just the right time. I literally didn't know where I was going to find the money for the week's groceries when the envelope just appeared.
I wasn't sure who you were or how you knew about our situation, but you certainly saved us at a very difficult time. Thank you on behalf of my family and myself.

To the Ahavas Chesed Fund:
As you know, I'm divorced and have custody of four boys, whom I've been raising...mostly alone...for years. My ex-wife is not too involved and certainly does little to help out.
Things got pretty bad and have been for several years. The kids have had food, clothing and a roof over their heads...none of which I could pay for. I'm still in debt for those things...there was no other way. As the boys get older, more of my time is freed up to try to make a living, but jobs are scarce, especially if your 20's have long since passed.
Ahavas Chesed has broken the spiral of increasing debt and allowed me to breath enough to try to move forward. Despite the difficulties, the kids are turning out well and that's what all this has been for. So, from all of us, thank you and G-d bless. (Translated from the Hebrew)

To Ahavas Chesed:
My name is....I'm seventeen and I'm the son of....
I want to thank you personally for the help you're giving my family. My school sent a letter to my father saying I would not be able to continue my studies if he didn't pay 2,000 dollars back tuition within a few days. He didn't have it. We've been having a lot of trouble lately.
Now things are better and I'm still in school I know you have been helping us and I just wanted to let you know how much. Thank you. (Translated from the Hebrew)
