Hello RedBlue24! Just popping in to say welcome as well

Just like my colleagues at the NST, I am here if you'd need some assistance, or would like a little chat. Just throw me a PM, if I can be at any help. I do hope this place will grow into a safe place for you. I believe every survivor should be offered one. 

All best, W ☀️
