From a grateful parent to their sponsor: "Thank you so much for giving my child this opportunity that would otherwise have not been possible. Play therapy has helped my child work through domestic abuse and parental abandonment and relocation, which are big life changes for a 7 year old to go through. My child has loved going and worked hard to process everything. The biggest noticeable change being that my child is happy to separate from me with a wave while running off. Prior to therapy there was clinging, crying and asking if I will come back even if I just went to the letter box. After engaging in play therapy my child is confident in class and has made secure permanent friends, where before there was reluctance and a different child or no one to play with each day. I will be forever grateful for the confidence and skills she’s gained through therapy and your support."
Written by the child with a lovely picture: “Thank you for doing this for me. I drawed a sheep, a penguin, a horse and a giraffe puppet from play therapy.”
