Hi im higher!
This thread is about hakaras hatov. many yidden here have been through really rough times and have been helped by Hashem through gye in general but more specifically the special people that they connected with who helped them realize that they are greater than they make themselves to be. 
that they can succeed in lifes challanges and become better people.
 they deserve our thanks.
they may hide in code names and joke around and present themselves as one of the many members.
 they are much more.
they care.
they connect.
they empathize.
they offer practical advice.
they daven for those in need.
they are heroes. 
and of course this is a place to show gratitude to the source of all kindness.
Hashem.
enjoy!

a side note.
this isnt meant to be a place where you have to introduce yourself.
the main point is that whomever you are thanking should realize your thanking him for -. so u can be unclear and dont have to feel pressured to provide any details that make you feel uncomftorable.
bear in mind that this thread is not in the bablebatim thread as well.

Thank you HIGHER for this great idea of a thread , and may we all be zoche to only grow HIGHER AND HIGHER  in our ruchniyus and avodas hashem.
Thank you to all the founders and all those who run this great מקום שמגדלין בו תורה ויראת שמים ותזכו לכל הברכות שכ' במי שמקיים את דברי התורה שלא תפול שנאמרו על כל מי שמחזק איזה דבר שהיה רפיון בכלל ישראל,ע'י חפץ חיים עה''ת עה''פ ארור אשר לא יקרום את דברי התורה הזאת שק''ו למי שמקים את התורה שכרו כפולה מאד . אשריכם ואשרי חלקכם ממצדיקי הרבים ....
