Stories of Change
“When I first came to Time to Heal, I was broken. I had lost all confidence and felt I had no future. Through the counselling and support groups, I found my voice again. I have now started a small business using the skills I learnt in the sewing project, and for the first time in years, I believe in myself.” – Survivor A
“I lived in silence for many years, too afraid to speak about the abuse I faced. Time to Heal not only listened but walked with me. I joined the Conversation Café and met other women who understood my pain. Today, I no longer feel alone — I feel part of a family.” – Survivor B
“I fled my home with only my children and the clothes on our backs. I didn’t know where to start. Time to Heal helped me with emergency support, food, and guidance through the legal system. My children are now safe, and I am rebuilding a home where peace replaces fear.” – Survivor C
“As a single mother of three, I often had to skip meals so my children could eat. The food packs I received from Time to Heal carried us through the hardest months. It wasn’t just
food — it was dignity, kindness, and reassurance that someone cares.” – Foodbank Recipient
“Last winter was the toughest I’ve ever faced. With rising bills, I couldn’t afford to heat my home. The fuel vouchers from Time to Heal meant I could keep my children warm at night. I cannot explain the relief of seeing them sleep peacefully in a warm room.” – Fuel Voucher Recipient
