You gave Sasha a fresh start
Sasha felt lost, with no way forward—until your compassion opened the door to a new beginning.

For Sasha, a young woman navigating immense challenges with family, it meant taking the first step toward change. Her turbulent home life had spilled over into school, leaving her feeling overwhelmed. Sasha felt completely stuck, unable to turn in any direction. She knew that she wanted to improve her mental and physical wellbeing but did not know where to begin. Thanks to your caring heart, she found success at CFS Counselling + Wellbeing, a ShareLife-funded agency that provides accessible and inclusive programs for those in need.
At first, Sasha was uncertain about what counselling could do for her—this was her first time seeking support. Through several sessions that followed, she began to see the possibilities ahead. With the coping skills she learned, and the right tools in hand, Sasha gained the confidence to reclaim her independence.
A new beginning, made possible by you
Today, thanks to you, Sasha’s life is moving forward in ways she once thought impossible. She’s living in a new home, working her first job, and even saving for a car to help her commute to college, where she is now a proud student. In her own words, written after her final counselling session, Sasha reflects on the power of your compassionate support:
“My life is incredibly better because of you, and I could not be more grateful for your care and help,” Sasha shares. ” I never thought it would get this much better, so a very, very big thank you.”
