You helped me recover from a serious car accident
I find it appropriate to write you this letter, despite the short period in which my family worked with your office. Thanks to you I found the Indian worker Bino, who helped me recover from a serious car accident in which I spent two and a half months in the Kaplan hospital in Rehovot. I underwent a number of operations, from which I am in recovery, to the astonishment of the doctors who are taking care of my rehabilitation. Attitude and speed of dealing with the problems I had in addition to the wonderful therapist that your office made available to me.
For this I come to thank you for the cooperation and for all the good and useful deeds I have received.
