I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to CARAD for the invaluable support they provided during my time of need. The foodbank and accommodation assistance made a significant difference in my life. I’d like to acknowledge the entire team for their incredible dedication and compassion. Their kindness and commitment truly stood out and I am eternally grateful for their help. Thank you for making a positive impact in my journey.
