Christine says working at GSI makes her feel important and allows her to keep her independence; "GSI has supported me in getting and keeping my job. Eg: accommodating my needs at work, giving me extra breaks to rest my knee, assisting me with my abilities to do my tasks, helping me to communicate with people. Having a job at GSI has helped me obtain a loan for my home. GSI has helped me keep my head together, keep my mind occupied, have supported me through my mother’s death. GSI has put me in touch with outside agencies who have assisted me in my personal life heaps – from getting rails in my home to assist with my balance, assistance with my vet bills for my dog, obtaining counselling for my mental health wellbeing. GSI helped me get in touch with a specialist for my shoulder. Since moving to a retail store I have made new friends, I still come back to the Warehouse to visit everyone as most of my friends work in the Warehouse. If I wasn’t with GSI I don’t know where I would be today in my life. GSI has given me a fighting chance.
