THE three women rescued after being held captive in a house in Cleveland for about a decade want everyone to know they are doing fine and appreciate offers of help.
The message was relayed in a letter released on Tuesday by their attorneys.
The letter said Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight are happy and safe. A charity fund to help the women has raised more than US$650,000.
Berry broke through a locked door on May 6, yelled to neighbors for help and enabled Knight and DeJesus to escape.
"These three brave women have asked us to give this message to everyone who has expressed concern and support," said the attorneys, who are representing the women for free. "Amanda, Gina and Michelle want you to know they are doing well. They are happy and safe and continue to heal, a process that requires time...
"To have complete strangers offer loving support in the form of money, goods and services, reaching out to help like a family member, is appreciated in ways that are impossible to put into words."
Ariel Castro, 52, a former school bus driver, has been charged with three counts of rape and four counts of kidnapping.
