A simple "thank you" or prayer for you is not enough to express my gratitude. You relieved my hardship and brought joy to my heart and my children's hearts. May Allah bring joy to your hearts, ease your affairs, and grant you goodness in this world and the Hereafter. May Allah open doors for you as you have relieved our worries, O Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. You have proven that the world is still full of goodness, and all praise is due to Allah.

Our situation is about to get better as there is a new job I am getting ready for within the next couple of weeks. Your organization was of critical help at a very sensitive time in our lives due to the war in Palestine. Our lives are much better now and we feel we are going to be stable soon.
