A few weeks ago, a staff member was chatting with clients at our clothing bank. Susan, a young single mom of three busy little boys, shared with staff that her car had broken down the week before. It had taken all of her October rent money to get it repaired.
She tearfully searched for words to describe her relief that St. Francis House had paid a large portion of this month’s rent and then referred her to other agencies who were able to finish the payment.
“I had no one to turn to,” she said, “but suddenly you were there, like a good friend walking alongside me. It has made all the difference for my family!”
