I feel genuinely welcome in this place, surrounded by individuals who understand my situation and make me feel less alone. Previously, I would spend sleepless nights anxiously wondering and worrying how to manage all my bills, particularly the gas and electricity expenses. However, now I can always count on having a comforting and delicious meal, provided by the kind-hearted girls here at the community centre and the burden of cooking for the day is lifted off my shoulders. Although I still feel hesitant about venturing outside, they arrange dial-a-ride services to pick me up from and drop me back off at my house, easing my worriesimmensely. Simply the thought of being in the groups’ fills me with anticipation and joy, as we share laughter and create lasting memories together.

I didn’t think I could get a job again, but the help I got made a big difference. I felt listened to and supported. Now I’m working part-time, and I’ve started a course in accounting too. I feel proud of myself, and my children are proud of me too.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for today’s trip to Airport Bowl. Mimi, Mawada and Jack really enjoyed being with you, and it means a lot that they can join in and have these experiences. Even though Mimi can sometimes find things challenging, you always manage with so much patience and understanding, and I truly appreciate that. It was so kind of you to make it free of charge for us as well. Your support through play and activities really makes a difference for the children. 💐

I would like to thank ESDEG’ staff for their great efforts, to make our children happy and their integration into society. I wish you more brilliance. The children were very happy while playing bowling, and even the mothers were very happy. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for this lovely day and all the help I got. It was a really great day, especially Rahma. Thank you so much for handling the situation. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to complete the day.”
