A note from a client�
"This letter is to truly, truly thank the staff at Shalom House. I recently was a resident at Shalom House. I have gone through a lot of heartache and pain, thinking that there was no light at the end of the tunnel and no one to talk to. I have a lot of thoughts running through my head that made me fall into a state of depression, and just when I was about to run from my problems again, I felt tired and wanted to stand up and fight. Coming here to Shalom House gave me a breath of fresh air, the staff and environment were very friendly, loving and caring. They gave me the one thing that I needed � my self-esteem. I really appreciate all the things that you at Shalom House have done and given me. I just can't thank you enough. ?"
