TRANSCRIPT OF DROUGHT STORIES INTERVIEW EXCERPT 3
Cindy Parker: And the other thing is too, a few other people that are in the community who have got a good support team, and a good support system, sometimes even fall through their own support system’s cracks.
They’re too embarrassed to tell people just how badly off they are, or how badly they’re feeling, so (sigh) they often come in and talk to me, about, you know, just what’s going on in their life, and everything, which I find very, gratifying, I’m very grateful that they trust me to do this, to you know, tell me all these terrible things that they’re going through, but, and often they’ll come in, not even wanting any emergency relief, they just simply need to get it off their chest and as I said, have a cuddle sometimes.
