Client Testimonials
I want you to know what kind of people you are giving new life and saving with your efforts. I hope I can give this kindness that I received from your organization and employees to other people in need.
– Sara
SAFSS is indeed an important organization to be in the community for women like me, who experienced or are experiencing domestic abuse and want to get out of it to live a happy healthy life.
– Moumita
After I became a client of SAFSS, I became knowledgeable and was able to meet my settlement requirements. Now, knowing that I have firm ground to plant my roots and make a life for my family and myself, I am able to explore the possibilities and wonders of this land with my loving daughter and provide her with all that she desires. Additionally, what we received through SAFSS “Santa Fund” program was a timely gift to my child as she felt that the gifts were from Santa.
– Manuja
One of God's blessings in this difficult situation was my familiarity with the Settlement Assistance and Family Support Services, and dear ladies Soraya and Zarina. These loved ones understood my situation with great patience and kindness and helped me to pass this difficult path.
