Your gift of time helps to make financial contri- butions go further. Testimonials I was 40 years old, depressed, hopeless. I didn’t even want to go to sleep because I didn’t want the next day to come. After coming to LifeHouse and going through counseling and having support, I decided to keep the babies and not give them up for adoption. I feel like I’ve gone through some sort of process here. I definitely see a future now with great purpose and great responsibility. I no longer feel hopeless. I no longer feel alone. I know that even after I move out of here that I will have the support I need. I’m excited to be alive. Now I have joy back in my life. —Formerly homeless, pregnant client and LifeHouse resident, April 2019 With Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri, they were there for me when I needed them, you’re not just a number anymore, you’re actually a human being. They recognize that and they recognize what you’ve done serving in the armed forces, and they appreciate you for doing that, and that’s why they work so hard to get you what you need. My case- worker worked hard. She wouldn’t stop. She was constantly trying to find me a place to live. —Formerly homeless veteran client, August 2019 This program changed things for me. It’s given me a lot of confidence. I can apply places that would have turned me down before. I’ve got a lot of references now and the certificates are a great thing to have. It’s enough for them to say, ‘he can learn.’” —Graduate of Workforce Development / Construction On-the-Job Training Program, September 2018 30 2019 GIVING GUIDE SPRINGFIELD BUSINESS JOURNAL | ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT
