Stories of Hope

Providing a Safe Environment

Life takes a positive turn for domestic violence victim.

“When I first came to Catholic Charities, I needed a place where my daughter and I would be safe,” domestic violence victim Sondra said.

Since leaving her boyfriend, Sondra has been making a lot of changes, including undergoing counseling. “My counselor is helping me take responsibility,” she said. “I can see more clearly now that my life is the result of choices I make, not just a series of things that happen.”

With Catholic Charities’ guidance, Sondra has also found a job in a food processing plant. “I was very fortunate. I found a job in about a month.”

But Sondra is proudest of the job she’s done with her daughter. “Even though I may have made of mess of things in my own life, I’ve been a good mom. I’ve always kept my eye on her. And now I’m so proud of her. I know she’ll do well.”
