Here are some comments from AVA's clients:

"My advocate is always supportive, makes me feel secure, very helpful, eases the pressure when I get difficult forms to fill in - always there for you."

"Thank you for giving your time, support and understanding to my situation when I came to you for help. Thank you for giving me hope when I was beginning to feel desperate."

"AVA and my advocate are like a father to me, always there for me."

"I don't know what I would have done without you."

"Thanks again, I really bless the day you turned up at Cornerstone, I wouldn’t have this money now if it wasn’t for that."
