You were the light in their darkest moment
Because of your generous spirit, Sarah and her baby found safety
Sarah arrived at the doors of one of our Catholic Family Services agencies on a desperate afternoon. She came with her baby cradled tightly against her chest, the only person she wanted to protect more than anything in the world. Fleeing an abusive home, she had nothing but the clothes on her back and a fragile hope that someone—anyone—might help.
That someone was you
Because of your generous spirit, Sarah and her baby found the safety they so desperately needed when shelters were overwhelmed. Your kindness provided the essentials to care for her baby, the counselling to begin healing, and the support to rebuild their lives. You gave more than just help—you gave them the chance to hope again. Sarah and her baby are safe, cared for, and starting to look toward a brighter future.
With domestic violence on the rise and countless others like Sarah in need, your compassionate heart not only helped her, but it has the power to change many more lives. It is because of people like you that their stories do not end in fear but begin again with love.
