"I lost my job due to the COVID-19 virus; I wasn't able to pay my rent or bills. I came to Catholic Charities for help and it was the best experience I had. They taught me a lot. The class was great. I like that they took out time with me trying to help and listen. In a few words, they were heaven sent!
After the class I went home and thought about everything [my case manager] said, and it made me feel more confident. She made me want to do better."
"The whole staff was great. They engaged in conversation and made me feel as though they actually cared about my situation. It was great to know that I wasn't alone during these hard times. I'm glad to come across people so kind and understanding."
