My dearest Mrs. Karapetyan and Mer Doon staff,
It has been almost a year since I lived in Mer Doon. I can proudly say - with a smile - that I was one of your residents. Though I have not corresponded much, I am thankful to you for including me and welcoming me with open arms.
You gave me a chance to receive an education; you gave me care, attention, warmth, and love. I'll use all of your lessons, advice, and life skills in the future to become a good person.
May God bless you and Mer Doon for everything you have done for me, and for your kindness and good will. I really appreciate the time that you spend working with me individually and trying to correct my mistakes.
Narine Davtyan
Former Resident
