June 12, 2026Sara* reached out to us frightened and exhausted.
“When I first reached out, I didn’t know where to turn or how I was going to keep my children safe. My caseworker changed everything…”
Be the reason we answer.
What came next was:
- A caseworker who listened without judgement and stayed by her side.
- A safety plan the same day.
- Emergency supplies – food, warm clothes and toiletries.
- Support to apply for a protection order so she didn’t have to face court alone.
- Family law guidance when she had to think about parenting orders and property.
And a team that kept walking with her, week after week, long after the immediate crisis had passed.
“This service didn’t just help me – it gave me back my confidence and my future. I’m so grateful for everything the team did for me and my family.” Sara

“When I first reached out, I didn’t know where to turn or how I was going to keep my children safe. My caseworker changed everything…
from our very first conversation she made me feel heard – not judged – and walked me through every option available to me with patience and genuine care. She helped me with safety upgrades to my home and the next day we had new locks, security cameras and lights and a safety plan in place. For the first time in a long time, I felt like my home was truly mine again. I can’t put into words what it means to feel safe in your own home.This service didn’t just help me – it gave me back my confidence and my future. I’m so grateful for everything the team did for me and my family.”
