“I was feeling hopeless when I was given your phone number, feeling like no one cared if we were on the street.  When I called, the person from St. Vincent de Paul was so kind and told me I was not alone in this struggle, my children were important, and that she would work for me to try to keep my in my apartment.  That kindness, it was like light shinning where it was only dark before. Thank you!”

“I cannot express my thanks enough for the excellent service and help from all of you at St. Vincent de Paul Chicago. We are enjoying the furniture and the feeling of being home and our lives getting back to normal. You all are truly Angel’s sent from heaven. I am going to send photos of our Thanksgiving dinner together, where will be saying a prayer in thanks to you all!”.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Chicago was there for me when I had nothing.  They not only helped me with furniture for my new apartment, I had been sleeping on the floor after getting out of the shelter, they also helped me with getting food.  I was able to visit my local food pantry for general supplies and they had a Turkey and Ham Thanksgiving Food event at St. Gall that I was able to get my holiday meal fixings.  I feel very blessed!
