"Thank you for being you, for having a huge heart and a generous soul. You present an authentic empathy which has blossomed out of all your experiences. That is a rare an treasured gift in a fast moving, cynical and calloused world."

Your guidance and support and general Sammy-ness has been life changing for me.

— Sarah M., Supporter

“I am proud of myself and without having you as an emotional support I would have not made it here. The way that I will repay is forward. You have inspired me. I want to go back to school and get a degree in helping people. What I am grateful for is you, and for all the things, time and people you have believed in and invested your wisdom in. I remember the day that you said sometimes you don't feel like you have done enough for people. Trust me you always do. You do this by guiding us on this journey and showing that we must do it, but you are always walking with us every step of the way. You have helped me learn to trust again. Thank you, the most understanding person that I have had the pleasure of being given guidance and support and the countless things that at times seemed to have no end. Thank you.

I can’t tell you how much you’ve helped us both walking through that dark season with us. It was awful, and it just looked so hopeless for so long! We got out and we are so grateful for you to hold space for her and be there for her. It takes a village to get women & children out of these crazy situations, and you were a key player! You’ve got light.”

“I just wanted to say thank you for all your help over the past few months. I think it's amazing the kind of work you do and how much compassion you plug into each of your clients to make sure that they're OK. I've been feeling extremely grateful lately and happiness has overwhelmed me, and I know that's because of your hard work. So I just wanted to take time to say thank you."
