Testimonials

A person experiencing loneliness

is on the path to well-being

I feel alone. I have no family, no partner, no friends. I don’t work. I spend my days alone at home talking to the walls. Every day feels the same. If something happened to me, no one would know. I could leave just like that… and no one would care. Life isn’t really fun when you feel this lonely… I need to do something to get out of this. – Anonymous
A man in mourning

finds help

My wife just passed away. She had breast cancer… I watched her suffer terribly until she finally faded away, just skin and bones. I find it so hard to accept that she’s gone… I feel completely empty, I have no energy for anything, and I don’t want to see anyone. I just want to sleep to try to forget… I know that’s not the solution. I need to seek help. – Anonymous
A person struggling with gambling

finds non-judgmental support

I started gambling at around 21 on bar slot machines. Every paycheck went there. My life revolved around gambling. I thought about it morning, noon, and night. One day, I found myself with nothing, almost on the street. I had lost everything: my job, my girlfriend, my friends, my apartment. Even my family had cut ties. I hit rock bottom. I couldn’t see a way out… So, I talked about it and sought help. – Anonymous
A victim of abuse and violence

finds a refuge where she is truly heard

Who would have thought a son could act like this toward his mother? He is always aggressive with me, constantly insults me, calls me stupid, and says he can’t wait for me to die so he can be rid of me. He takes all my money. I don’t have a dime left for my personal expenses. This can’t go on. He scares me. I need to talk about it… – Anonymous

Why Support TAM?

I believe that Tel-Aide Montréal’s mission is truly remarkable. I know that to listen, to sincerely help someone in distress, one must be very empathetic and respectful of others’ feelings. Tel-Aide performs essential work by helping others over the phone.
