Comment from a grateful client
Hello again Bernadette
Yet again you and Orana have helped ***** to finally escape DV. Sometimes, as you know, it takes a number of attempts and as her husband is now ‘in care’, she should be free to enjoy the remainder of her life.
Thank you, for all the compassionate and professional work you do. You are a shining light in a sometimes dark world.
