R E P O R T

DEAR FRIENDS, Thanks to the generosity of donors and volunteers like you, last year, we collectively witnessed many neighbors in the midst of a crisis receive the care they needed.

we recognize that there are many, many families who still need help. The task ahead of us is tough and we cannot do it alone, but there is no one we would rather do it with than you.

It can happen all too easily: the loss of a job, car trouble, the death of a loved one, a medical crisis. For anyone, these factors can cause a serious setback but in the lives of some of our neighbors, it can be devastating. That is when we step in to provide a safety net for them, catching them until they can get back on their own two feet.

In the following pages, you will read about Kim whose life depends upon the medicine she receives at the Charitable Pharmacy. You will meet Lavenia and her three children who had something to open on Christmas morning, thanks to your help. You will read about Barry who found more than help at St. Vincent de Paul, he found hope.

You will only learn about a few of the thousands of lives we touch every year.

It is thanks to you that we can continue to help the neighbors we serve. As you read the following stories, consider the outcome if St. Vincent de Paul had not been able to offer assistance.

We are incredibly grateful for your support. It is because of generosity like yours that we were able to help families like Barry’s and Lavenia's and

Cincinnati District Council President

P.S. We cannot emphasize enough how grateful we are for all the ways you have supported St. Vincent de Paul – Cincinnati and your neighbors in need.

We look forward to another year where, together, we roll up our sleeves and set to work providing hope and assistance wherever we can.

DISEASE DROVE BARRY TO DESPAIR: ST. VINCENT DE PAUL LIFTED HIS SPIRITS TO NEW HEIGHTS Barry and Paula were happily married, raising their young children when suddenly their world crashed around them. Paula was diagnosed with systemic lupus at the age of 31. “It ravaged her body,” Barry said. “We tried very hard to keep her alive.”

Paula’s treatment involved monthly trips to hospitals in Baltimore. Despite working three jobs at once, Barry had to declare bankruptcy twice in order to give Paula the medicine she needed.

For 17 years, they struggled until, at age 48, Paula passed away.

“We lost her and it was devastating,” said Barry. “I had to declare bankruptcy to bury her.”

With a master’s degree in psychiatric social work, Barry could not make ends meet while getting Paula her treatment.

It seemed he had no other choice, so he turned to payday lenders. This began

a devastating cycle of borrowing and repaying only to borrow again in order to make it to payday.

When he retired after 40 years of working with the same company, he had no pension.

Barry could not afford his medication.

At times, he could not afford his rent.

“I’ve had a multiplicity of ailments and medicines that keep me going,” Barry said.

“When I walked into St. Vincent de Paul, I can’t describe the sense of futility and fear I had.”

When he walked out of St. Vincent de Paul, Barry said his spirits were lifted to new heights. He now receives his medicine from the Charitable Pharmacy. He has received help with utility bills, and clothing vouchers for our thrift stores.

Being an Orthodox Jewish man, Barry said he would never have guessed he would find the support he needed from an organization like St. Vincent de Paul.

“St. Vincent de Paul is a faith-based agency and is funded largely by Catholic people,” he said. “They do all their work in love and caring support regardless of who you are.”

“Without them,” he said, “I could not have lived all this time.”

GOAL-SETTING CLASS HELPED SYLVIA REACH SUCCESS Before receiving assistance from St. Vincent de Paul, Sylvia was trapped in a deep depression after losing her mother in 2011. “I didn’t want to go out or be bothered with anybody,” Sylvia said. “I was always sad and crying and wondering why she was gone.”

Her depression affected not just her, but her family as well. “I felt like I couldn’t do anything but sit around and cry out the window.” Sylvia was unable to work and was afraid she would lose her home.

Depressed and without a job, she turned to St. Vincent de Paul in her time of need. Without the help and hope Sylvia received, she and her children would have been homeless.

Without help at that critical moment, Sylvia’s life could have continued to spiral downward.

A few of her friends began telling her about events happening in her community. One friend recommended St. Vincent de Paul’s goal setting class at the Winton Hills Outreach Center.

She was hesitant, but she ultimately decided to give it a try. Sylvia began setting goals, such as getting a job, eating healthy, exercising, and attending Bible study.

“I’m keeping them up,” she said. The classes at Winton Hills motivated her to get out of the house and be an active member of the community. She now has a full-time job as a groundskeeper and regularly attends Bible study and

church. She also actively volunteers at her church where she runs the food pantry and teaches children.

“Look where I am now: working, saving,” Sylvia said. “I’m doing really well.”

Sylvia said she is preparing to get her driver’s license and is hopeful that she will soon have enough saved for a vacation for her family.

“I’m proud of me,” Sylvia said about the progress she has been able to make since first turning to St. Vincent de Paul. Thanks to the support she received from St. Vincent de Paul, she is becoming independent.

NEW PHARMACY LOCATION MAKES MEDICATION EVEN MORE ACCESSIBLE From her St. Vincent de Paul Conference at Our Lady of Lourdes, she received help paying her rent. From the Charitable Pharmacy, she received her inhaler and other medicines. Through it all, she received emotional support and witnessed the love of her neighbors.

When Kim lost her job she didn’t know where to turn. Thanks to your support, she found assistance from St. Vincent de Paul.

Kim was in her 40s when she was diagnosed with asthma. Before her diagnosis, she felt like she was constantly breathing through a straw.

Coupled with severe sinus infections and allergies, she was forced to miss a lot of work.

Eventually, her supervisor had to let her go, though not before telling her how regretful she was for having to do so.

Kim was not bitter. She understood that it was simply company policy. But out of work, Kim did not know how she would pay for her medicine. That is when someone told her to call St. Vincent de Paul.

So Kim made her way to the Liz Carter Outreach Center and learned more about the Charitable Pharmacy. Getting from Westwood to the West End was difficult, but it was a commute she was willing to make.

Without St. Vincent de Paul she would have to pay $385 per month just for her inhaler. “There is no way I could afford that,” she said, let alone pay for her other medicine.

“I don’t know where I would have been, I really don’t,” she said. “I would have gone without.”

Now, access to her medicine is even easier with the opening of the new pharmacy location inside the Western Hills Thrift Store. Instead of having to make her way to the West End, she can walk down the street to pick up her prescriptions.

In describing her experience with St. Vincent de Paul, Kim was overwhelmed by the kindness she saw in staff, volunteers, and donors.

“If it wasn’t for their generous hearts, there’d be a lot of people that would probably be dead or close to it because of not being able to afford medicine,” she said through tears. “All I can say is thank you so much. Please continue to give … because through St. Vincent de Paul, we’ve been able to maintain life.”

YOUR SUPPORT PROVIDED MUCH MORE THAN SIMPLY GIFTS FOR CHRISTMAS Lavenia faces many struggles balancing work, raising her children, and completing her degree. But she knows in her time of need, she can turn to St. Vincent de Paul.

The first time she received assistance, she had not asked for it. A friend saw her struggles and applied for help with Christmas presents on Lavenia’s behalf. Lavenia’s family was selected for St. Vincent de Paul’s Christmas Together program where a donor provided Christmas gifts.

Lavenia is the single mother of three active children. Jamell is 11, Jordan is 9 and Rahmi is 7.

Lavenia says she is working hard to break the cycle of generations of poverty. She is the first person in her family to go to college, for instance. She is in her junior year studying Gender and Diversity Studies. Her goal is to be a teacher or start her own Afrocentric non-profit.

To raise her children in a safe neighborhood, she spends a significant portion of her paycheck on rent and has to tightly budget the rest. She says it is worth it to keep her children safe.

She knew she had to move when their house was broken into and ransacked.

They stole her laptop, money, even her children’s clothes. “I took my kids out of that environment,” she said.

“I was just blown away,” she recalled.

“During the holidays, you want to see a kid smile and not feel left out. After Christmas break, everybody’s like: ‘I got this’ and for the child that didn’t get anything, that messes with them psychologically,” said Lavenia.

Lavenia also receives help with clothing vouchers which frees up her money so she can pay her bills.

Lavenia is working hard to raise her children in a safe, loving environment.

In her times of need, she is glad to know she can turn to St. Vincent de Paul.

St. Vincent de Paul – Cincinnati offers young adults an opportunity to explore their faith and engage in service through Vincentian Volunteers of Cincinnati (VVC), a faith-based, year-long residential service program.

CINCINNATI DISTRICT COUNCIL

FINDING JOY IN GIVING Looking over the Cincinnati landscape through the lens of St. Vincent de Paul – Cincinnati, you will see a kaleidoscopic view of neighbors working hard to help their neighbors. Some help because they themselves have been helped. Some feel that it is their calling to help. Others help because it brings them joy.

For Jim and Dennie Patton, it just made sense. They have always been involved in something. When their children were younger, they volunteered in their activities. Now, they devote that same energy to helping their neighbors.

About 10 years ago, the Pattons attended an intensive, 13-week course called Just Faith. “It was a major impetus for us to get involved,” Dennie said. “It’s a real call to action,” she said.

As members of Christ the King Church in Mt. Lookout, whose St. Vincent de Paul Conference is very active, the Pattons said it only made sense to choose St. Vincent de Paul as their avenue to give to the community.

While Jim and Dennie share that common umbrella of volunteering at St. Vincent de Paul, they use their skills in completely different settings. Dennie has used her experience in group facilitation to help lead Getting Ahead — a 16week course that helps people identify where their personal struggles lie and points to important resources and practical ways to find success.

Jim, meanwhile, is an active member of his Conference, visiting neighbors in their homes and providing assistance where needed. He also helps at the Edyth and Carl Lindner Choice Food Pantry twice a week.

Recently, he even started driving the St. Vincent de Paul box truck, picking up donations from various locations.

On top of their time commitment, Jim and Dennie support St. Vincent de Paul through financial donations.

“It’s a joy,” said Dennie. “It’s something we want to do so that’s why we do it.”

“We’re doing what we want to do,” Jim agreed.

“And a lot of that involves charitable work. We’ve been blessed.”

THE FREDERIC OZANAM

LEGACY OF HOPE SOCIETY

You can bring hope where there is despair, love where there is loneliness, and faith where there is emptiness through a planned gift to St. Vincent de Paul – Cincinnati. We promise to carry your legacy of hope to where it will do the most good — as our founder Blessed Frederic Ozanam said, “not in a comfortable meeting room, but rather in the cheerless attic tenement, or in the sick room… the old age home or any place where love is needed.” Please consider joining these generous donors who have included St. Vincent de Paul – Cincinnati in their estate plans.
