We received the following letter from a young woman who found help when she needed it most:\n\nDear Catholic Charities,\n\n\u201cI wanted to take a moment to express the gratitude I feel for the recent assistance you provided me. Over the past few months I have been truly struggling; first with car trouble, then my daughter\u2019s health problems, and finally an unexpected increase in the cost of tuition and school fees. I was becoming quite overwhelmed and discouraged, and I thought about discontinuing the credential program I am pursuing. However, with your help I feel a glimmer of hope. Last week, I was worried that my daughter and I could become homeless, and now I can focus on my education and my daughter\u2019s recovery. A simple thank you does not seem enough words to express my gratitude.\u201d\n\nHelp us continue this vital work. Please take this opportunity to GIVE BIG, and support Catholic Charities with a generous donation today.",
