“[My wife] and I want to thank you for setting up yesterday’s Patient Partners appointment [for] my father. He seemed happy with how it went, despite being reluctant or skeptical beforehand. And it gave [my wife] and me back a few precious hours that one or both of us would have lost. So far, the Patient Partner program is fitting our needs perfectly.”

“Time has passed and I am about to leave and go back to Israel. I have been studing here with you for the last six months. I learned English and I have been enriched from the experience. I highly appreciate the chance that I had to meet you, study with you, and learn a bit about your culture and life. I think of you with a lot of respect. I highly regard the way you took your destiny in your hands and made your choice, and the manner in which you made and continue to make efforts to advance your families. You are doing your best to adjust to the American society and at the same time respect your own culture. I want to thank the Jewish Family Services for the opportunies that they gave us to improve our English. I want especially to thank Barbara for teaching us patiently and with great care and humor. You are a very special and talented teacher. I will miss you all and think of you often. I wish you all a wonderful future.”

“I appreciate the kindness you have shown me. Through this entire process you have been very dedicated in your efforts to help me get to [a specialized medical facility] so I can receive the medical care I need. Perhaps in a couple of weeks all arrangements we have been working on will be settled and I can be assured that everything will be ok. Hopefully,[the medical facility] can successfully treat me and I can fully live and love life the way that has been denied me for many years due to illness.”
