Dr. David Willis, a national expert on #ChildHealth and poverty, told us something chilling: Sometimes the birth of a precious newborn can be a catastrophic tipping point for families on the verge of losing their homes. The merciless driver of this tragic outcome is the deep chasm between soaring rent and stagnant income. And the birth of a new baby is often what pulls a family over the edge. We can’t let this happen. It violates every principle we hold dear. The time to act is now. The Catholic Charities Family Services Program, if recharged by you now, could provide essential support leading to family HOMEFULNESS. We fervently believe that a stable home is the bedrock of a child’s future, and we’re facing an unprecedented surge in demand. Give here: https://hubs.la/Q02Wd40V0
