In Our Own Words

When our clients leave shelter we ask them to do a survey and make comments regarding their experience with NWAWS. These are the words of a recent client:

“The past few weeks [at NWAWS] have completely changed my life for the better. You all have helped me realize who I can be and who I am. You’ve helped me stop listening to all the lies I was convinced of before. You all made me believe I am worth the effort to be healthy, mentally and emotionally. I am so overwhelmed by everyone’s encouraging and dedicated spirits to help me refuse to go back to being abused!”
