"I've heard about Multicultural Helping House Society (MHHS) from a family friend a few days after we arrived here in Vancouver last August 2019. I got so excited when I knew that this organization is able to provide assistance especially to newcomers like us. After two weeks, I finally got an appointment to come over their place in Fraser Street. I can clearly remember how accommodating the staff were, especially Flordeliza Doria. She was knowledgeable and patient enough to guide us with our permit issues. Her genuine enthusiasm and dedication to help was remarkable. Thank you MMHS for always providing moral support to those who need it the most." Client Testimonial from Karen, Roy, Ruan and Kraig.
