The Trauma Room


This is a letter sent by Judith and Thello to their friends who helped raise funds to do up The Darling Trauma room at the police station. See Slide show for the pictures they took.

Here’s what happened to your ‘Thanksgiving’ donation.

Remember Girls Giving Thanks in Yzer Nov 30? Well, the donation box was full enough to help the Darling Angels with their Trauma Clinic makeover project.
They took a run down mess of a rondovel (a water tank in its previous incarnation) – and we’re sorry we don’t have photos of what that looked like – and transformed it into a clean and caring safe place. They tore down the old, tossed out the junk, repainted and refurnished during a week of hard work in steaming hot weather. We were there one day last week and witnessed all the love that went into it.
The photos in the Web album will show you the new entrance (with pots and plants, thanks to you) and some of the Darling Angels working inside on the last day hanging curtains, cleaning and arranging the new furniture (again, thanks to you).
The last photo is of Pearl, the coordinator, (and some friends) when she finally came to see the room finished and ready for her. It’s not a great pic because it doesn’t show the look of delight and real appreciation that spread across her face. Her work involves caring for anyone who has been physically abused. With the Angels and your help, she can now welcome these people into a place that shows them respect.


Thank you Judith and Thello xxx
