We have 2,177 reasons to celebrate the support from friends like you.
Each of those 2,177 reasons is a man, woman or child who has a safe place to sleep tonight thanks to services provided during our 2020 fiscal year.
These 2,177 individuals in 12 countries around the world are people who, until our Cross Catholic Outreach donors intervened, lived in unsafe, unsanitary, even horrific conditions. Unable to afford even the most basic house for shelter, many were living in crude patchwork shacks fashioned from mud, sticks, tarp and various scraps. These flimsy shanties typically have dirt floors — which quickly turn into mud during rainstorms. Insects, rodents and disease infested every nook of these dark abodes, while the smoke from open fires made the air barely breathable. Now, thanks to you, this heartbreaking way of life is finally becoming a thing of the past!
