I was lost. Homeless from a horribly violent DV situation. I spoke to Lee. He was warm and sensitive. I was sleeping on a park bench in Strathpine Brisbane. Lee provided me with food and long term accommodation where I am dry and safe.

 
 
What you did for my family the other day was a true blessing.
 

I just wanted to send a quick message of appreciation for the food hamper, toys and food voucher. I am so incredibly grateful and could sleep easy last night after a super stressful day!! Thank you so much and God bless


Just wanted to say a huge thank you today for helping with a hamper during a time of crisis for our family. With my baby grandson coming into my care and the need for some baby essentials you were able to take some stress off me. Having spent some time with you was lovely and such a good time for me to speak with other adults. Also thanks to Lee the baby whisperer who got baby to sleep for a good while. So very appreciated xx
