“Last week I got accepted by Department of Housing to get a 4 bedroom house, so we moved in last week! It’s a pretty good house in a quiet little cul-de-sac so we are pretty happy with that, thanks to you and everything you did to make that happen for us, we owe that to you! So thanks again and just wanted to touch base and let you know how things are going.”
“Every time I enter through the door I am greeted with a warm friendly smile, all the staff do anything they can to assist with whatever problem you have. I recently lost my father and the staff were compassionate, helped me to achieve my goals, thank you all very much.”
