Penny’s* Story
Donations redirected into Bethany’s Women and Children’s Family Violence program support people like Penny* who have experienced trauma in a relationship.
Penny was referred to Bethany through Geelong’s Orange Door service. Although she was no longer in a relationship with her ex-partner of ten years, she felt she was being still being emotionally impacted and controlled by what she had been subjected to. The way she was participating in her life was not sustainable. She had children that relied on her and that she wanted to be a role model for.
Penny’s case worker, Jessica*, provided the tools and empowerment for Penny to regain confidence and independence.
Penny shared with us that Bethany “came into my life at the most perfect time and I will forever be grateful. (I embarked on a) journey of healing and self discovery. I felt supported and listened to by Jessica. I finally had someone who truly wanted to help and understood what I was going though. I had hope”.
“My children and I are safe, healthy and happy and I thank Bethany for every step of the way they supported us to get to where we are today. Bethany is a truly amazing organisation that is so very needed in the community. From my experience with Bethany, I now help others navigate through life challenges because of how much I know it helped saved me when I needed it”.
