DONATE!

“It means I can start afresh, thank you so much I can never repay you.”

I arrived with my daughter with only a few belongings. I had no bank account and had no money as my husband controlled all our finances.

Thanks to Chester Women’s Aid, I was able to buy food and essentials for myself and my daughter until a bank account and benefits were set up.

Many thanks.

“I can now go and buy some clothes and shoes thank you so much.”
