Back in 2017, David and Marley had no idea that a test of their love and faith would bring an unexpected blessing. Shortly before their wedding, David was diagnosed with leukemia. Treatment would result in infertility for David, but their main priority was his health.

In 2009, David started a new life. He moved across the country to Arizona to help his mom’s family move. Sadly, David didn’t get the fresh start he was expecting.

Catholic Charities’ affordable housing communities, developed by Housing for Hope, provide more than just a roof over residents’ heads. Afterschool programs, financial and computer training classes, events, and community resources create an environment where people thrive and discover a sense of belonging.

Loving unconditionally may be a struggle for humans, but it comes naturally to animals. Animals view love as something all living beings deserve rather than an earned privilege.

Catholic Charities knows its volunteers are an essential resource and strives to show gratitude to all who contribute their time. That’s why Catholic Charities is honored to receive the Service Enterprise Initiative Certification by ASU Lodestar Center, Association of Leaders in Volunteer Engagement (ALIVE) and Points of Light.
