Ernestine’s always goes above and beyond to help every client in this shelter.” – Former Client

After seeing what my mum had gone through, the rough times, it was hard for us. Ernestine’s staff are very lovely, warm and have such great hospitality. They make us feel at home and comfortable in every way in everything we do. With the help of Ernestine’s, my brother and I, and even my mum, are hoping to give back something big to the shelter one day.” – Former Client
- “I have been through some rough times in life before. However, Ernestine’s gave me hope, a new light, a new tomorrow, and a new life. Before I made that call for help, it was one of my darkest moments of life and I was desperately in need for support, but the moment I arrived at the doorsteps of Ernestine’s, I knew then that my son and I were in a safe place. As the weeks went by, I began to realize that not only had I found a safe place but I also had found a group of people whom I considered my family and whom I can trust and rely on. Ernestine’s was and will always be a safe haven for me.” – Former Client

Thanks also to all of your sponsors, volunteers, and to all the other kind and generous people who gave and are continuing to give a lending hand.

- “For the first time in my life, I am able to stand on my own two feet and take care of myself and my daughter. And I could not have done this if Ernestine’s hadn’t given me a home when I had no other place to go to and when I didn’t have anyone else to turn to. So whatever I have done and achieved, I could not have done it without Ernestine’s and all the wonderful counsellors at the shelter. In the year that I stayed at Ernestine’s, I learned and changed so much. I became a different woman thanks to the shelter and everyone’s support. Knowing that the shelter and all the wonderful staff are there when I need them – even though it’s been almost two years since I moved out of Ernestine’s – that gave me the strength to get through everything. I’m so grateful for it.” – Z.
- “Ernestine’s has created an environment where I feel like if I ever need someone, even if it’s the middle of the night, I can just pick up the phone and talk to someone. It’s been 6 years since I moved out, but my outreach worker still calls me and makes sure I’m okay. Ernestine’s has been such a huge support throughout my journey. I feel like they’re always thinking of me.” – J.
- “Ernestine’s, through your genuine expression of concern for my safety and that of my children I gained strength to persevere during the scary situation, especially being a new immigrant. The Child and Youth team supported me in school and daycare registration for my boys. Each staff gave me their timeless support with matters regarding housing, custody, and most of all my career-oriented issues. The Outreach team helped and still helps me to access the food bank and any other kind of emotional support.” – N.

- “I found myself hurt and alone at the doors of Ernestine’s Women’s Shelter. I was pregnant and fleeing my boyfriend who hit and abused me. Thanks to the staff and programs at Ernestine’s, I began to develop a stronger sense of self-worth. I don’t know where I would be without Ernestine’s.” – Former Client
- “I felt depressed. I was at a low point in my life and I needed help. The staff at Ernestine’s made the transition so easy for me and the kids.

The Child & Youth team supported me to enroll my children in school and daycare.” – N.
- “At Ernestine’s, I had the pleasure of acquiring a new family, the Ernestine’s family. I felt loved, my child was loved. I felt safe, I felt heard and most importantly, I was respected as a person.

- “The person I once was, I could no longer find within myself. I thought this was the end of the road for me. You all found ways to show me that possibilities existed in changing my situation and I found myself healing from everything that I had once thought had been lost, such as myself. You have given me unconditional support.” – R.
- “I felt safer there than I did in my own house. Before I was scared of being at my old home, it was like staying on the streets. I couldn’t say anything, I was too scared. Ernestine’s Women’s Shelter provided a supportive environment where I could finally sleep soundly at night.” – D.
