Easter Appeal

A Journey from Heartbreak to Hope

Life can change in an instant. For Anthony, a Marine veteran, and his wife Jasmine, those changes came with unimaginable pain and uncertainty. During Anthony’s four-year enlistment, they endured the heartbreak of two tragic miscarriages, losses that left them emotionally shattered. The weight of their grief, combined with the challenges of transitioning to civilian life, eventually led to homelessness. With nowhere to turn, Anthony and Jasmine found themselves living in their car, struggling to hold on to hope.

But hope arrived when they contacted St. Vincent de Paul CARES. Thanks to compassionate supporters like you, St. Vincent de Paul CARES was able to provide them with temporary shelter in a hotel, a place of safety and stability. From there, Anthony and Jasmine worked tirelessly to rebuild their lives. With new jobs and, most importantly, a permanent place to call home, they found a renewed sense of purpose.

The couple stated,

We are so enthused and proud to say that St. Vincent de Paul CARES made this happen.”

And the most beautiful chapter of their story? They’ll be welcoming a new bundle
of joy into their lives, a symbol of the hope and joy that came after so much loss. Easter
blessings abound!

Your generosity made this possible. But there are so many more families like Anthony and Jasmine who desperately need your help. A gift today can provide shelter, support, and a path forward for those facing homelessness.

Anthony and Jasmine’s case manager said:

Working with Anthony and Jasmine, made me feel like they were a part of the family because we kept in contact, followed their housing stability plan and they trusted me as their case manager to make things happen.”

Donate to Help Others Find Hope and Home

Together, St. Vincent de Paul CARES can ensure that no one must face the uncertainty of homelessness alone. Thank you for your kindness and compassion.

Every Gift, No Matter the Size, Makes a Difference

Your support can be the turning point for a family in crisis, offering them the safety and stability they deserve.
