The fire really wiped us out. We were at the end of the road… [Catholic Charities] and the team came in and, luckily, they were able to help us and without them we would not be where we're at. We had no idea that there were even services like that. That there are people out there that'll help. That there was actually people out there that care and want to help.
Leslie and Sonya — Northern Valley Catholic Social Service, Disaster Recovery Recipients
To live in the refugee camp was really difficult... the most important thing for me was that I had hope... I can't believe I am seeing my [widowed] sister. I am so blessed to see her after 17 years. To be here with her right now. I don't have the words to express it. The services I got from Catholic Charities were good for me.
I don't have to worry about tomorrow, don't have to worry about about next week… The staff here is real supportive and nice and having my own place... Access to a toilet, a shower, a refrigerator, a bed to be warm at night.

It made me think that many young people should take a little more of these classes… it makes me feel like a person with a lot of strength; with a lot of desire to move forward. I would recommend it to you. It is a good program, it helps with your health, and the truth is that you will feel changes in your life.

Catholic Charities has enhanced my life immensely. I would not be able to do the things that they provided for me… I was worried after my heart gave me so many problems. How am I going to function? But everything came together thanks to Catholic Charities.
