As a member of the LGBTQI+ community in Trinidad and Tobago, I faced overwhelming challenges that left me feeling isolated, lost, and without hope. During this especially difficult time, when I struggled with mental health issues and lacked any source of income, CAISO stepped in like a beacon of light.”

“Their grocery grants provided me with essential food supplies, allowing me to nourish my body when I truly could not afford to. This support relieved an immense burden during a time when every meal was a worry. Knowing I could rely on CAISO for basic necessities gave me a sense of stability I desperately needed.”

“But it wasn’t just the material support that made a difference. The therapy sessions I received through CAISO were transformative. The compassionate counsellors guided me in navigating my struggles, helping me to confront my mental health challenges and instilling in me a renewed sense of self-worth. I began to understand the importance of my own well-being and learned coping strategies to face my circumstances with resilience.”

“Through CAISO’s services, I began to feel a sense of belonging that I hadn’t experienced in a long time.
