Testimonials of Respite Carers
Keren Priyadarshini
Seeing mothers fighting against all odds for their children, who are learning to survive given the extreme conditions is very motivating. That's another reason why I am a respite carer.
Patricia Tan
It gives me great comfort to know they (Sanctuary Care) are journeying with me, and they are always just a call away should I need help or advise.
Katherine Thayre
For us, having a house filled with children playing and being happy brings us great joy. It feels like a small effort on our part which brings great benefit to another family.
