Veronika Zonabend, wife of Ruben Vardanyan, has sent a letter of gratitude to everyone supporting their family.

Dear Friends,

On behalf of the family of Ruben Vardanyan, we would like to express our deepest gratitude for your solidarity, compassion and unwavering support during this difficult time.

Your messages, prayers, public expressions of support and acts of kindness on Ruben’s birthday, 25 May, have been a great source of strength and hope for the family. In moments of uncertainty, knowing that so many people stand together with us brings great comfort.

We are profoundly thankful to everyone who has contributed financial support for the Dilijan Church, UWC Dilijan, and children’s playground in Tatev. Every contribution, regardless of size, is a powerful message of care and humanity.

The family is sincerely touched by the support shown by friends, colleagues and people around the world. Your solidarity reminds us that empathy and human dignity transcend borders.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Veronika on behalf of the family of Ruben Vardanyan
