Janine's Testimonial

This is a testimonial of a client helped by SVdP.  Janine’s husband had become ill and was no longer able to work, and then she lost her job.

Janine’s story is not uncommon. Unexpected crises do happen, and we at St. Vincent de Paul help people to navigate through them.  We are only able to do this because of your caring  and compassion.  

Please give generously to our mission so we can continue to provide hope and help to those in need.

Testimonials From Our Clients

"I am a retired veteran who was late on my electricity bill payment. Anthony helped fit me in to see him, in between working with other clients. Because of all his help, my electricity is still on and I have lights and heat, and I was given a food box too.
I am so appreciative of all your help and your kindness".

Thank you,

James M.
"My wife left me three years ago and I fell onto hard times. I started drinking and went into rehab. After this I worked at the Electrician's Union, until I was laid off. Karyl at St. Vincent de Paul helped with rent and utilities. I am grateful because I can keep my apartment while continuing to look for work. Thank you for all your help during this hard time".

Carl S.
“I am disabled and live on a fixed income I don’t know what I would do without help from St. Vincent de Paul.”

Daniel
"My electricity was about to be shut off. I went to St. Vincent de Paul to see if they could help me. Anthony went to bat for me and I was able to keep my electricity on as well as being given an extra month to come up with the remainder of my electrical bill. I am so grateful at how much you were able to help me". Thank you everyone for all your help and kindness.

Terri G.
“I have never been in my current unemployed situation and needed assistance. I am so grateful for all of your help. I especially want to thank your staff, they were great. I almost had my power turned off and you came through and allowed me to keep my power on. It is nice to know there are good people like you out there lending a hand. I can never thank you enough!”
