Catholic Charities USA is firmly committed to helping people rebuild their lives, |
I'm elated. The commission decided to stay with our present allocation for another two years to see how it works out. |
It is an emotional roller coaster, ... It's my faith that gives me hope, but when I see how people are responding to those in need, it's renewed my hope in humanity, as well. |
Miles before we got there, you could smell the stench of all this rotting from the flood ... even from up in the air, ... I would be surprised if people would be able to move back very soon, just from the level of destruction. |
Restoring and recognizing the dignity of the human person is at the heart of our efforts, ... In the weeks and months to come, this effort will assist families in rebuilding their lives with supportive services including counseling, job services, and other needs until they are able to return home. |
We don't always recognize God's hand supporting us, ... It's only later that we realize that it's the strength of our faith that gets us through. |
