Some of Our Client’s Feedback

I am writing to thank you on behalf of my sister and her family for the tremendous support you gave her. Working with her for 2 years gave her the courage and confidence to leave a destructive relationship. So on behalf of her family I want to thank you for helping her take the first step to freedom.

You were there to help me understand and take that very necessary step and to be a sanctuary to preserve my health and belief in myself. I hope that you will continue to be funded and make the difference to another woman and mother suffering and looking for courage and support
