From people who came through it

  • โ€œA note for the next person. I was where you are in 2022. I remember asylum interview next month like it was yesterday. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. One day at a time.โ€

  • โ€œFor anyone new to this: I was right where you are about three years ago. A job far below my training. That was my life. Now I sleep most nights. It changes. It really does.โ€
