Sara’s Story By Charlie Moon, Development When the leaves changed this past autumn, the abuse Sara endured changed as well. She had no car. She had kids to protect. She was scared to stay and scared to go. The abuse got to the point that Sara called the Harbor House Hotline at (316) 263-6000. After a safe night’s sleep Sara met with an advocate. The kids had a big breakfast. Starting over can be overwhelming. Having help makes the difference. While Sara was frozen in fear the experienced advocate navigated the choppy waters to help her learn new skills and build a better life for her family. The staff at Harbor House: • Contacted Wichita Driving School that assisted Sara in getting a driver’s license.
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Second Graders celebrated their First Communion by dropping off donations for the shelter programs.
• Raised money for child care and classes for Sara’s new direction in life.
Thank you Via Christi for the furniture donation to Adult Day Services!
• Referred Sara to a Cars for the Poor contact who assisted in getting a car. When you support Catholic Charities and the work we do at Harbor House you support improving the lives of those less fortunate.
