Dear Chaim V’Chessed,

I don’t have enough words to thank you for helping me out. I’ve been struggling with postpartum depression for what seems like an eternity.
Mental illness is not something that can be left alone; help is vital. UNDERSTANDING
When I hit yet another bump along my very rough journey, I knew I should reach out to you. But broadcasting to people that I’m dealing with
mental illness is not easy. Finally, I mustered up the courage to call. Right away I could tell by your sensitivity that you would hear me out
without making me feel judged or exposed. When I began to share my story, you were so understanding, and that made me feel safe to open up.
I am so, so grateful and impressed by the help you gave me. You owe me nothing; your willingness to help was just because you cared. T hank
you, thank you and thank you.
