"I did not expect that my family would receive so many products from the Fund. It was very touching. This is the first time I have received such big assistance here in Georgia. And most importantly, it is not formal, dry, or for showing off. I felt warmth from everyone I talked to. It gave me hope that, despite all odds, everything would turn out well.
"Many thanks to your fund for helping my family. May God protect all of you and bless you with a hundredfold return for your kindness."
"From the bottom of my heart, I thank everyone who takes part in it. May God bless you with good health and well-being."
