You gave Chloe and her family warmth and hope this winter
Because you care, she received baby formula, food, and diapers
Winter is always tough, but for struggling families, the cold makes everything harder. Heating bills climb just as the cost of food, diapers, and other essentials continue to rise. Young parents already stretched thin are now facing even more uncertainty, wondering how they’ll keep their homes warm while making sure their children have enough to eat.
For families in crisis, your support means the difference between warmth and hardship. Chloe, a single mother, knows this struggle all too well.
“Formula, baby food, and diapers are super expensive! It often felt impossible to give my baby the nutrition he needed,” Chloe shares. “That constant worry really took a toll on my mental health. I was overwhelmed and felt like a failure as a mom.”
Because you care, she was able to turn to Vita Centre, a Catholic Charities agency you support through ShareLife. There, she received baby formula, food, and diapers—essentials she desperately needed but couldn’t afford.
But it was more than just material help
The counselling program gave her the strength to keep going, to navigate the overwhelming challenges of raising a child alone.
Chloe is one of many young parents in need, as more families reach out for help while food prices rise and financial pressures grow. Through your support of ShareLife, you ensure that struggling families can receive food, baby formula, diapers, and emotional support to get through difficult times.
