"You feel totally safe in here so you can actually start healing emotionally and everything. Not only are they here to listen and build up self-confidence 24 hours a day, there're also here to help legally with papers, phone calls; they really put themselves out. Sometimes you're in such an emotional way, you can't even think of making phone calls. We share chores, we share dinners with everybody at the table, and you're really appreciated for every little thing you do here. I feel really appreciated. It's a new feeling to me. It's like a home - very loving, like a big family."
