If I could meet a Freedom from Torture supporter, I would tell them to continue supporting the organisation without hesitation because they are doing so much. They are bringing people back from the dead, and you are helping to bring people back to life and giving them protection.

"Before I came to Freedom from Torture, I was on my own, I didn’t have anyone. Now, I’ve got family. I have someone to talk to, and if there’s something I need I can call to get support."
