My name is Justin [we have changed Justin’s name for anonymity and safety] from Sri Lanka. I came Australia to seek asylum by the brutal war against Tamils.
I was incarcerated at Sydney immigration residential housing between 2011 to 2016 by the reason of adverse security from ASIO. Those period of my life was limbo. I was suffering by depression, insomnia and lots of medical issues.
That time Victoria Paola, Nicoletta Alison and Megan from VDSA started to visit me. They are very kind and always encourage me to come over from those mental illness and they tried to make my spirits up.
They sent students to entertain me and others in the housing. And also they usually bring foods & fruits for us each visits and mingle with us as one of us.
Their visits made me relieving from the depression.
I have been released on 2016 to the community by ASIO, who made the decision as I am not security threat to the community.
Even though I have been released, they’re still visit and support me and keep the relationship with us as a mentor. We are impressed by Valerio’s thoughts too.
My family and I are thanking everyone who visited us and your continuous support for us. Cheers, Justin & Family
