In the past I have had to put up with being in care, being abused, having a kid, being raped, homeless, losing my family, losing my son all in the space of a year. Then I was put in a hostel where I am just getting used to. From July 2008 I was going to a place called the Edinburgh Women’s Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre where I met a nice woman who is a worker there and I got to talk about what I wanted to. I didn’t have to go into the details of what happened to me and she didn’t make me so my trust for her has grown and to this day I still see her and we talk about things that happened to me or we talk about what I want to talk about which is not much. I can’t thank EWRASAC’s worker enough for what she has done for me. I am just trying to get back on my feet now with the help of the staff in the hostel and EWRASAC which I think they have helped me so much. Happy 30^th EWRASAC and good luck for all the years to come.
