ADRA Community Care Centre – Redwood Australia

“As a recipient of the government Disability Support Pension due to extreme ill health, it is a constant battle to manage outgoings and at the same time find joy and fulfilment in life. I worked hard for decades and paid my dues, but will never take for granted the help given to me now.

Particularly in the light of the last few months of a pandemic, with isolation, prices rising enormously, and access becoming more difficult I realise how much the support of ADRA has been of help to me personally. It would have been that much harder to manage without them. I know it has been to many others.

Small food parcels, when otherwise we would go without, the offer of help, counselling, or just a smiling face when otherwise you may have not seen one for weeks.

I think these are the very human and wonderful things that ADRA provides. They provide a connection. The ADRA connection and contact gives us faith in ourselves, validation, non-judgment and is also a testament to people, community and humanity. I thank ADRA, the Warburton Church and all involved for the lovely gift they have given of themselves to our community.”
