Your gift of just $35 will keep a struggling family’s electricity on for a week!
As those of us who live in southeast Texas know, the summer heat is unforgiving. Temperatures and humidity soar. Without fans or air conditioning, life can be unbearable.
That’s true for families like Dwayne’s. Because his hours were cut at work, he doesn’t earn enough to meet all his family’s expenses. Now he must choose between feeding his family, paying his rent, and keeping his electricity on.
Dwayne couldn’t bear to see his kids hungry or homeless, so he let the electric company disconnect his power.
When you donate to Catholic Charities, you provide the emergency assistance struggling families like Dwayne’s need for essential expenses like utilities, rent, food, and more.
To make a gift by mail, send your check made out to Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston to 2900 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77006.
To make a gift by phone, call John McGarry at 713-874-6681.
