Mother's Healing Retreat: Letter of Appreciation

February 2007

To Sherri Mandell and the staff,

We, all the participants in the Koby Mandell Foundation Mothers Healing Retreat want to express our thanks and deep appreciation for your work.

At this retreat, we saw things that can only be seen from here; we saw that what we share in common is greater than anything that would set us apart.

The path you have chosen of lending support, embracing, giving, doing and sharing serves as an inspiration to us "newcomers" as well.

Despite the storm from outside, it is possible to find from within meaning in our lives ahead and preserve the human dignity that is inside us by giving and doing.

Because this is your way and we hope it too will become our way as well.


Thank you.

With appreciation and respect,

The Mothers
