“People think we’re doing something for others, but we’re getting so much in return. It’s a privilege to be there, to hear people’s stories, to be part of something that matters.”
“It’s hard to put into words. You leave feeling like you made a difference, even in a small way. It’s incredibly special. That’s why we keep coming back.”
“It might just be making a cup of tea, but it’s everything. One man said to me, ‘You reminded me I wasn’t invisible.’ That really stayed with me.”
