With the cost of living on the increase every single penny is needed towards the service which call enable will help us to be there as a voice of reassurance, comfort and support at the most vulnerable point of a persons life.
Due to cultural taboo, many families choose to stay silent and remain reluctant to speak out and get help before it is too late. We need the support of the local communities to help us keep up with the increasing demand of calls. Every call matters and a missed call may be the only attempt someone makes for help. It is crucial that every call is answered, please help us to help those who have nowhere else to turn. Each push of your pedal represents each one of these calls!
