"My counsellor helped me find a doctor who understands. She helped me move and get welfare, legal aid, and a lawyer. She helped me get new immigration papers after my husband tore them up. She even helped me with banking. She got my children counselling and now I am getting counselling too. She heard that my children were upset that I couldn't afford hockey sticks and she got someone to donate them."
