I want to thank you for the wonderful, warm words of support you shared with me. During difficult times in life, it is so valuable to know that you have support and that others empathise with you.  

I am truly touched that my family's story has met with such an incredible response and so may kind, inspiring words of support; in fact, you were the first people I shared a glimpse of my experiences and my story with. Quite a bit of time has passed since we last corresponded; life is gradually getting back on track and taking on new meaning. I believe that the war will eventually end and most families will be able to return home, though my own home is now here – in a beautiful little town on the banks of the Dniester. My family is happy here, and I plan to keep growing and helping people who find themselves in difficult situations. ‍ ‍

Best regards,  

Your friend Anna.
