It's not easy living on social assistance. Being a single mum of four kids it has always been a struggle to put food on the table, pay bills and rent. There was never a way I had enough money to fix what broke around the house. My bathroom was in such a bad state, leakages, broken tiles and sink, and so much mould that it became a health hazard with everyone coughing. I desperately needed help on this one. I first contacted Ilona and sent her some pics. She then passed me on to Francesca from Women for Women. Francesca promised me that they will help me out somehow, it was a sigh of relief. I did not expect anything more than fixing the pipes, taking care of the mould and maybe a new sink. Within three months they found a very kind soul who provided me with a brand new complete shower set, toilet, sink, tiles and all accessories. She knew about my health problems, knew that a shower would be much better than a bath. The foundation then paid for all the rest. To everyone else this could be just a shower but to me it meant much more than that. I was overwhelmed by the kindness of these beautiful souls and forever I will be so grateful.This foundation unlike other foundations does not stop with providing material things, it goes way beyond that, it empowers women and makes sure their lives are changed for the better. I just have no words to thank you enough. Bless you all.

I would like to say a heartfelt thanks to Women to Women. Late last year I asked for some assistance for my 3 children. Within 3 days the ladies had all rallied together to help us out with food for an entire month and some into the next and warm winter clothing as well. We were so stunned and blown away by the kindness of this group. Not only did they do all that but even assisted us with a deposit for a new flat and a wonderful Christmas hamper and presents for my 3 boys. These ladies have gone above and beyond and I cannot express my gratitude to them enough.

I contacted Francesca when I was in a desperate situation. I couldn't afford to pay the bills and sometimes not even food. Thanks to Francesca that posted my plea for help, not only was I listened to and encouraged not to give up, but I was also helped with clothes and toys both for my child and myself. I had a huge Arms bill that thanks to everyone it was paid. We received vouchers and food that helped us going on until our situation got better. I have only words of praise for all those ladies that helped us and supported us. I am sure this foundation will help many more women in need!
