[WDVCAS] are amazing! Thank you so much, your assistance has made a real difference and I am truly appreciative.

I cannot thank you enough for your support and kindness in a very difficult time in my life. It was so reassuring for me to be able to rely on [WDVCAS] professional work ethic... Thank you for achieving such as excellent outcome for me.... you have really restored my faith in the support [WDVCAS] provided to me.

Intervention order in place that meets the needs and makes me feel safe to now go about rebuilding my life.

Your understanding, care and knowledge from the first day we spoke has been amazing, when I first spoke to you I had little hope anyone would be able to help as I had numerous rejections from local SAPOL officers and was told there was nothing they could do but my confidence was instantly shifted.

My children and I have never felt happier and safer. Thank you for giving us our freedom and safety back again! My kids are now growing up in a home free of DV and abuse because of your help. I will never be able to thank you enough.

Thank you. We feel very safe now and it was because you stepped in, forever grateful.

Thank you [WDVCAS] for all your support and guidance throughout my court proceedings, you made everything so much easier to understand and process.

The understanding and compassion shown towards me and my situation was second to none. I don't believe I would've received the positive end result if it were not for the support I received from this service.

[WDVCAS] Thank you for all your help and hard work you do, not only for me, but all women in need.

My lawyer was able to achieve an outcome that should of occurred by other means long ago. Without this service I would still be a victim of DV.
