We recently received the following letter from the parents of a former Battle Born Recovery Residences Resident:
Dear Friends at Catholic Charities,
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
A few years ago, you ministered to our son, John, through your Battle Born Recovery Residence, and he has never been the same. As a matter of fact, he is now living in another city and attends Victory Outreach, a global faith-based ministry helping people overcome substance abuse, gang involvement, and poverty through holistic Christian support, offering counseling, recovery homes, biblical training, and community outreach.
The huge change in his life can be attributed to people like you who encourage and support people who struggle with alcohol and drug addictions as John had for so many years. You helped him emotionally and socially. He is now able to function in a good job and be his best self.
It is because of this that we want to give you this small donation at Christmas to say thank you so that you can help someone else in need.
We thank you eternally!
Marie and Kevin
