As a Christian single in my late 30s, Stories of Hope has brought me SO much hope and the best advice. Thank you to this beautiful and inspiring couple! I absolutely love the host and all the inspiring couples interviewed on Stories of Hope! 💕

This was a mind blowing episode. The Hashgacha Protis is just incredible. I’m so happy for them, and thankful to Hashem that He brought them together. Another reminder that with Hashem’s help all things are possible.<br>Thank you so much Tzipporah!

Thank you Tziporah for your work of inspiring hope! Thank you, Esther for sharing about ambiguous loss. I’ve been married twice, have been blessed with a son against scientific prognosis and when you said what you did I got a name to what I haven’t been able to articulate and when I tried was told it sounded like depression. This was a gift from Above for me in ways you can’t imagine! B”H and I wish you all, Esther and Michael and Tziporah boundless revealed blessings and nachas from all those you touch with your heart, openness and vulnerability!

They are friends, but I've not heard the whole story. I think so many people will be inspired by both of their stories.
