“Nearly six years ago, I was deep in my mental health. I was alone. I had nowhere to go. I was homeless. I had nothing. I went to Caminar, and it changed my life! Today, I have everything. Back then, I had nothing. Thank you for all you do. Please tell your colleagues ‘Thank you,’ as well.” - Former Caminar client
