You helped Greg after the pain of losing his wife

Greg was devastated after losing his wife. To cope he started to drink. In a matter of months, he ran out of money and was living on the street.  He was sleeping in doorways at night and ready to give up.

That changed because of you.

Greg heard about Catholic Charities and with all the courage he had, he admitted that he needed help.  Because of you, Greg got a voucher so he could stay in hotel for a week.  That was the crutch he needed to pull himself out of the darkness he was in.

While he was there, he was connected with other resources to help him get his life back on track.

“I want to thank Catholic Charities for all the help and support they gave me when I was on the streets,” Greg said. “I was blessed to find you.”

Greg didn’t have much hope for a stable future when he was homeless. Because of you, he got access to a food pantry, a new home, and help finding a job.
