Well done to Mission Australia for running such a worthy and heartfelt cause. You have helped numerous individuals and I just want each person that utilises your services to know, they are not alone. Just know that there are amazing groups and individuals out there that will help you. Although things may seem tough, it won’t be forever. Whenever things seem dim or you are feeling low, close your eyes and take a deep breath and focus on 3 things that make you happy and remember that tomorrow is a new slate.
