Dear Michael:
I, Tatiana Gorman, and my sons Maxim and Mark, wish to thank you for helping our family. The rocket did not merely destroy the airplane; it burst into our house and broke our hearts. My sons are left without a father, and I, without a beloved husband, with whom I had lived for twenty happy years.

I thank God that there are kind-hearted people on earth.
We shall pray for your kind heart, for the welfare of your family, for luck and success in your business. May the dreams come true. May the sun shine bright in your path.

Thanks again
Sincerely,
Tatiana, Maxim, and Mark

Dear Mr. Cherney:
We wish to voice our gratitude to you, who perceived the pain of the victims of the Dolphinarium terrorist bombing as his own. You have given us moral and material assistance that made us feel that someone cares about our pain.
Each victim family has to contend with emotional and physical pain and the indifference from the officials whose duty is supposed to be taking care of us.
This is why we consider your We Are One Family so important, as it brought together both children and adults. Grief is best handled together. On our trips, we manage to get beyond our everyday problems, and we get closer to one another and are indeed becoming one big family. For that we are grateful.
Your help was most timely, and we thank you for your heart, for your sympathy, for your kindness.
We wish you a happy birthday and wish you success and prosperity. If you need our support, we are always happy to lend it.
Thanks and be happy!

Dear Michael Semenovich Cherney:
Thank you so much for inviting the family of Alexandr Plotkin, a soldier wounded in the Delphinarium bombing, on this trip to Eilat. Actually, this was the first such invitation, because my son is too shy to ask.

Actually, he was wounded heavily and underwent surgeries on his both legs. After the first one, he spent two and a half months at the hospital, and then at the rehab center. Then they found pieces of metal in his other leg, and the treatment started all over again.

I am a single mother who brought up two sons, and I work long and hard hours to secure a decent living for my sons. After the accident, Alexandr's ranking was lowered from the highest to the lowest of 45, and he was transferred from active units. Consequently, the Army deprived me even of the small assistance they used to pay when he was in combat units (he served in Asa and on the Lebanese border). His salary was reduced, too. Thus our financial situation has worsened.

Alexandr needs extra treatment for full rehabilitation, which I cannot afford to provide.
We will be most grateful for any assistance to our family.

Sincerely and gratefully
Elena Plotkina

I, Sara Yakutilova, the mother of Leah Agayeva, wish to thank you for taking care of our children and I thank God that you exist. May God grant you good health.

I, Lydia Rabinovich, the mother of wounded Natalia Rabinovich, is grateful for your help. Thank you very much.

I, Galina Dyatlova, the mother of Oksana Dyatlova, wish to thank you for your help.
I wish you health and happiness, and I thank God there are people like you who treat the pain of others as their own.

Dear Mr. Cherney:
We voice our parental gratitude for your attention. With you, I feel that our children are protected. We wish you good health.
The Belalov family

Our gratitude is infinite. This is not about the amount on the check. You knew about our grief, you showed kindness and care, which is more valuable than money. My daughters and I thank you.
Elena and Faina Yakovlevs

Great thanks from Emma Skulishevski and her mother Larisa for your help and your attention. We need more people like you.

I, Natalia Akimova, the mother of Natalia Shekhtman, voice my gratitude to Michael Cherney and his co-workers for the help they rendered. Your attention is most timely. Earth resides on people like you. He who giveth shall receive from God.

I, Irina Sinichkina, the mother of Anya Sinichkina, wish to thank Michael Cherney for his help. This is not the most important thing - more important is the attention shown people who are in trouble. Thank you very much for your big heart.
