“I asked with help to find a solicitor as it is hard to cope with two children illegally. Shpresa helped me to make an appointment and to collect evidence. I was supported by NASS in [name of town] for eight months, then I got status. At every step Shpresa helped with forms and correspondence”(Via translator, paraphrased)
