“Sometimes I think what would I have done, where would I be without it? Without Hear4You or the support I’ve got – where would I be without it? You know, like you think, oh let me go down to the church, or let me go there to speak to someone – and if you ain’t got that, you’re isolated. I would have been more isolated.”
