Today my beautiful daughter Rina turned five:and so I am writing to you to thank you as I had made an appointment for an abortion before she was born. My husband and I decided that was the responsible thing to do as we had numerous debts. After speaking to an EFRAT volunteer however, I became convinced that we could handle a fourth child despite our economic challenges...

Rina is our only girl after three boys and the jewel of the family. I couldn't imagine my life without her! I shudder every time I think I could have actually gone through with the abortion. I don't want to imagine what our lives would have been like now if EFRAT wasn't there at the time."

Dear Efrat,

I am sending you a picture of me at age one.

Despite my parents financial situation they are very happy that they decided to bring me into the world. This is due to special people like you and your volunteers that helped my parents throughout the pregnancy and now too.

Thank you again,
Topaz

Shalom,

I want to say 'thank you' for all the help that I received, especially for convincing me not to have an abortion. Enclosed is a picture of my daughter Sha, which means 'gift', because she is a gift from G-d. Thank you with all my heart!

To the entire staff of the Efrat Organization,

I want to thank you with all my heart for the wonderful work you are doing. Now that my son Aviad is 2 years old I can not begin to imagine what I was thinking:. What I could have thought:.. Aviad is such an angel, charming and pure. With blessings to continue your wonderful work,

Dear Dr. Shussheim and the Efrat Organization,

Thank you for the good wishes. I merited to bring an exceptional boy, Guy, into the world and I take much pride in raising him. He looks just like his father who loves him so. Every time Guy says "Daddy" or "Mommy" I shower you with blessings to continue your work because there is no joy as great as bringing a child into the world.

Chag Sameach,
Guy and family

Dr. Schussheim and the entire staff of Efrat,

I thank you with all my heart for your financial support during this difficult time. Today, I am grateful to all those who stood at my side during this period and didn't let me have an abortion. You will understand when you see Tal's picture that I can't imagine my life without her. She is a child filled with happiness and everyone loves her.

Thanks again,
MF

Dr. Schussheim and the Efrat staff,

Many thanks for the gift that you gave my son, Saar-Saadiah for his Bar Mitzvah. May you also make many other children happy. Thank you for being there for us at the right moment of misery and hardship. You gave me the courage to overcome. Every day of my life I see more and more how it would be impossible to live without my son. Thank you so much for the strength and courage.

I thank you with all my heart,
N.
