Deborah's Helping Hands journey
speech mark

Since leaving South Africa and joining Helping Hands in the United Kingdom, my life has completely changed. Helping Hands staff have gone out of their way to assist me both in my career and personal life – from supplying letters of employment for opening bank accounts, driving and insurance advice, to placements to keep me busy and time off to relax and take care of me. The office has assisted me with support numbers, nursing staff, doctors visits, understanding medication and many other concerns I have had.
