I am writing to tell you how much your program has helped me and especially my children. I am a father of 5 children from ages 5-17. My wife suffers from mental health problems and was unable to properly care for my children. Your staff not only helped us mediate our divorce so that we could finish things quickly and treat each other with as much menschlichkeis as possible, but they helped us remember that as much as we are overwhelmed, our children are even more overwhelmed. The mediation saved us money that would have gone to lawyers and would have threatened our ability to put a roof over our children's heads and to give them proper food. But their help seemed to have no limits. Sarah & Yona were available whenever we needed them and for anything we needed. They worked with us on how to discuss our divorce with our children and helped us connect with the children's schools and rabbeim to make sure they were being tended to. They also connected us with other Jewish organizations to help us find bunkbeds, desks and school supplies among other things for our children so that when they have to move between houses, they have something to be excited about.
