A second chance in life
How John was able to get his life back together when all hope seemed lost
John was in a very dark place in his life. Due to some poor choices he made, he was now alone and facing significant challenges.
He was without work, his family life was shattered, and he lost access to his beloved child. Feeling hopeless and defeated, John contemplated suicide.
Putting the pieces back together
Thanks to your support of ShareLife, he had a place to reach out for help through Catholic Family Services of Durham (CFSD).
John was able to receive therapy, a service CFSD provides through your generous donations. The caring counsellors helped him work through the consequences of his choices and helped him forgive himself. They set him on a path to recovery, which helped him become emotionally stable. He eventually regained access to his child, found work, and ultimately got his life back on track.
