Testimonials

  • “Don’t ever doubt yourself, do what you love and good at. I know YOU got it! I would like to thank Youth Listener and Ms Marsha for wonderful words. You guys are great, thank you so much. Stay safe.”

    — Female, 20, Ozamiz Philippines

  • “Youth Listener is amazing, they’ve helped me realize a lot of things just by talking to them. My listener’s presence has been made known, and my heart felt safe with them. The burden felt easier to bring and I really love this program, will come back when I need to. Bless the people behind this and everyone involved!”

    — Female, 14, Philippines

  • “I think that was exactly what I needed and it was nice to actually talk to someone instead of googling and searching for answers. I really appreciated the constant flow of her typing because sometimes it stresses me out to respond a lot so it helped to have someone else talk for a bit.”

    — Female, 14, Canada

  • “I was about to breakdown and give up completely, Manasa really saved me and my future. I wish you the best of luck. Thanks for helping the youth out. Wishing you all the best of luck!”
