Testimonials of employees TRRAIN has helped with the COVID-19 Relief Fund

"The money came at the perfect time when she was in urgent need. She used it to pay her rent. Once she lost her job, it became a very big struggle for her to live alone, especially without employment. The money helped her buy essentials and get through a difficult situation" - Beneficiary's sister

"I live with my parents, and my father has been at home since January as he is unwell. Since then, I have been responsible for both housework as well as earning for my family. So the money helped me buy groceries and other necessities." - Anonymous beneficiary
