We were broken and suffering and had no confidence or self-worth. Volunteering at Hosanna and New to You has helped bring us back into society. We have never met so many genuine people or received so much love, help and support as we now have. We are now strong enough to help others rebuild their lives. (Sam & Kevin Hartigan)
"Helping lots of people when they are in need. They are such a fantastic help, caring, sharing, happy, kind and thoughtful people. I would have been totally lost without these people, the centre and the wonderful comfort and support. They have supported me so much" (Open Door Centre Guest)
There are so many more wonderful comments that I could add but I think these few sum up the amazing things that happen when we put our hearts into serving others.
