After personal devastation and financial disaster Catholic charities donated $100 to help pay my power bill. They never even asked my name or religious affiliation. They paid the power company account directly! i can personally attest to the validity & reality of help/hope offered by CC. They helped me in hard times. Now I donate to give back for the consideration & unconditional love/help given to me
