Letter of appreciation from a person who was one of the first tenants in our new service in Thurles.
When I was first told I had got a room at 56 Mitchel Street I was happy but at the same time warey because of what people were saying about it. When I met the two managers on my 1st day, the first talk with them was they were extremely friendly and made me very welcome . When I first walked into the house I knew all the negative talk about this house was all false the house was very clean and homely and it felt like a home away from home. The facilities were very good , everything you needed was provided. 56 Mitchel Street was not just a place to sleep, it was much more that that, it helps you improve any life skills you need and you learn a lot.
After a few days in the house I was settled in and it felt comfortable and safe in the house. There were so many benefits in staying at 56 Mitchel Street , you felt , safe, welcome, wanted and a part of a big family. The staff were amazing in the house they were always looking out for your best interests and were always making sure your safe and if you had any worries they were always there to listen to you if you needed to talk. Day or night the staff were always there for you and I found that very reasuring.
Now I am moving on to my own apartment and I feel really confident in living on my own. The staff have thought me everything I need to know about budgeting and paying rent and basic life skills. I am of course very sad to be leaving but I now feel I am totally ready to move on and I feel that somebody else can benefit from my place in 56 Mitchel Street. The staff have been very supportive in my decision to move out and supported me a lot. The staff in 56 Mitchel street are amazing people and have become more than just staff to me, I would count them as friends , friends that have changed my life for the best and Im sincerely grateful to everyone of them.
