Testimonials
“I have learned to cope, be resilient. I am stronger, don’t suffer despair or depression. I am regaining my independence. It has been life changing. The information and peer support are the only chance women have for survival and escape.”
“Thank you all so much for all the help you gave me getting me back on my feet after the abuse I suffered. It took me many years and many beatings to build up the courage to finally walk away and by no means was it easy. I was terrified to walk away and scared to approach a refuge for help as I had myself convinced I would be a weak person to end up in a refuge and had a totally different image of the living conditions built into my mind.”
“You provided a service to me with empathy, compassion and integrity. I would not be here without your support. Thank you”
“Believe me when I say seeking help from Amber Women’s Refuge was the best thing I ever did. They are the most amazing, caring, understanding, helpful people I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Never be afraid to speak up or seek help. If I didn’t seek their help I truly believe I would just be another statistic now.”
