The Harman Foundation’s, Women Empowerment Monday sessions conducted on legal rights, immigration advice, financial guidance, and many more activities, made me mentally strong.

It all started over a year ago with my husband’s verbal, physical, mental and sexual abuse that made my life hell. I just could not live like this anymore and finally left the marriage. This had a dramatic effect on me, my daughter, our mental health and physical stability in life. Having no family in this country, was a very difficult moment for me. I didn’t expect to have any support, but fortunately Harman Foundation directed me to all the support and resources needed and accompanied me to the court room and referred me to WDVCAS team which helped me to make the right decision. I truly would not have been able to survive that day without their guidance. Currently I am living in a shelters house which is a safe place for me & my daughter, as I was not financially independent. Everyone at Harman Foundation was helpful, understanding and supportive. They helped me open my bank account, lodged my Red Cross Application and offered counselling sessions to boost my self-confidence and self-worth. They helped me enrol in TAFE to study Aged care & Disability. Now I am learning how to drive. Also, enrolled my daughter in primary school. Harman Foundation has helped me in so many ways I cannot imagine my life right now without their support. Thank you for all you do. I don’t think anyone would have believed me and understand the threat that I lived under: A big thanks to Harman Foundation.
