“Thank you, IFCJ, for helping me when I desperately needed your help. I send you my heartfelt gratitude and I hope you continue to help others in need.”
--Nagati, who received food, clothing and shelter from The Fellowship upon her arrival in Israel from Ethiopia

“Sometimes a man reaches a desperate situation in life. He feels helpless, does not know whom to turn to, or what he must do … Your help made us feel like someone out there supports and cares about us small people. We cannot thank you enough by mere words. May you continue with strength to help others.” 
--Baruch, an Ethiopian Jew

“I thank you for thinking of me. Thank you for taking care of me, for not being put off by my horrible condition and for treating me so gently and kindly and lovingly … may God protect you from all that is evil and may peace be your escort wherever you may go.”
--Fatma, an elderly woman from the Israeli city of Shfara’am

“I want to thank all the hundreds of thousands of kind donors to IFCJ. I want to thank all the wonderful volunteers that came and worked and renovated my house to perfection. Your job is magnificent! May God light your way with love, happiness and health.”
--Nada, a resident of Shafara’am

“I cannot thank the IFCJ enough. The training course enabled me to believe in myself again. I enjoy being my own boss and working at something I love doing. I have found peace in Israel, new friends and a new future all thanks to you.”
--Tania, an immigrant from the former Soviet Union whose job training was funded by IFCJ

“I met a lot of wonderful people in Israel, but I owe a large part of my happiness to good and caring people whom I’ve never met, the donors of the IFCJ.  I feel that I need to repay them somehow for all that they’ve given me. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the help I have received.”
--Fabian, who made aliyah from Argentina

“Israel is my home now, and you, the donors of the IFCJ, made that possible. I want to thank you for all your help and support in giving me and my family a chance at a new life.” 
--Anat, who made aliyah from Argentina with her husband, David

 “Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all your help ... You have enabled me to receive the help I needed without making me feel like a needy person. Words cannot express my gratitude.”

“We are proud and happy to congratulate you on your help in building the afternoon day-care center in our neighborhood, and we wish to express to you our heartfelt gratitude. The new center, built with so much love and affection, will help all the residents of the neighborhood, supplying afternoon activities to the children and helping them with their studies and social activities. All the words in the world will not be enough to express our gratitude.”
