Thank you Danny for all your work in collecting the money and purchasing the
medicines and for having the idea in the first place. Efforts like this one
are not only helpful to the people depending on "Hessed Shoshana" but also
bring all of us who were in Chernivtsi closer together. Thanks to all who
contributed,
