“Grace Hosting has been fantastic for me. It has helped me in every way. It has helped me by giving me a room, a home, and a family. I have had the opportunity to travel, and in the end it helped me with my new claim for asylum. I now have 5 years leave to remain, and I am now self employed as a painter and decorator. My life has never been better than it is now. Grace hosting has been great for me, it 100% changed my life.”
