Violence Intervention Program (Opportunities for Otsego):  Client Letter

January 2005

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to tell you how V.I.P has helped me. last year during Christmas time, I had felt alone and as if I would never get back on my feet. I Came here with my daughter from Poland to live with my husband. I had been here for a year, and my husband was abusive and an alcoholic. I came to VIP and they helped me recognize that I did not deserve to be abused. I went into their shelter and they helped me get on my feet. With their support and counseling, I was able to gain back my self esteem. I now live in an apartment with my daughter, and working with a work VISA that they helped me obtain. The staff at VIP made a big difference in my life, and without them I would have continued to be abused. I am grateful, and hopefully I will one day be able to help other victims.
