Beneficiary story: “I worked with a 17-year-old girl who had experienced significant trauma during her childhood. Since then, we've supported her on a long journey of healing and rebuilding. One of our team members gifted her a car, and we helped her relocate to a safe, comfortable home in Canowindra. I’ve continued to see her weekly, offering ongoing support. Her transformation has been remarkable—her life has completely turned around, and her child is healthy and thriving.”
