Our Purpose

Survivor Story

Mosaab’s Story

Before..I was absolutely devastated…I was a walking dead man. CVT helped me restore my life and rebuild my spirit. This new motivation was reflected in my personality. Through the affection I received from therapists and social workers, it made me realize the value I had as a person and as a human.
