Over 60,000 moms in need come to us each year. At Catholic Charities we provide vital services like food, housing, and diapers for families throughout Cook and Lake counties. Offering support at a critical moment often changes the course of a mom’s life. Your gift this Mother’s Day gives hope to moms who need it most.
Read about Brianna,* a mother who found support through Catholic Charities. Brianna, a 25-year-old single mom, spent the first two years of her daughter’s life staying with friends, worrying every day they would be put out on the streets. Her two jobs could not cover all their expenses. Within a month of connecting with
Catholic Charities, Brianna and her daughter had an apartment of their own, with the program paying a portion of her rent so she could start saving money, earn her GED, and get a better-paying job.
“It takes a strong individual to get through that. But I always had faith.”
