I was truly nervous going into this because every fiber of my being wanted to just walk away, for so many reasons – from just wanting to focus on moving on and recovering without looking back, to the bewilderment at how life is translated into costs. But you were patient with my nervousness and helped me to understand this as not just about the costs, but returned my focus back to my life and what it means. In a large way, you gave me not just the check for a sum of money, but some meaning and clarity about myself. No one else could have done this.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. These are still not sufficient words to express how I feel. For someone who likes words, I seem to find them wanting right now!

Thank you just does not do justice to what you’ve helped us with. It means so much to us that we had the great good fortune to meet you and have you take care of this case.
