I'm taking part in A Mile a Day in May for CarmDAS to help support women and girls across Wales live a life free from domestic abuse and all forms of violence. Please support my fundraising page by donating today!
CarmDAS have been amazing supporting myself and the boys through what has been a tough few years. As some of you know I left an abusive relationship in 2019 and had to start again. I never really admitted how bad it had got until reaching our to CarmDAS to get the boys counselling and support. That's when CarmDAS offered to support me too. The staff helped us individually, we learnt how to process what we went through, taught us different coping strategies and staff just listened to us, this process really helped the three of us as a family unit. They educated and helped me make sense of what had happened, gave me strength to develop the skills to move forward and helped me to rebuild and regain ownership of my life again. They also introduced me to an amazing support network of other strong women they have helped and we now support one another. I will never be able to repay them for all they have done but by doing this challenge I hope to help them raise as much money as possible to help support others in need. Please give generously 🙏
