Who we help
Here at United Ministries, we help families in crisis who, because of that crisis, are experiencing the inability to cover the cost of basic needs. We reach out to the single working mother, the father struggling to raise children alone, couples who might each be working two minimum wage jobs. So many of the families we meet at United Ministries are working hard, but they often are one crisis away from poverty. Perhaps they have lost a job or a wage-earner has left the home. Perhaps they are trying to pay high medical bills. Many deal with hardships that most of us can only imagine. At United Ministries, we try to give these families resources—both financial and emotional—in the midst of a crisis. |
A client wrote: "…a series of bad luck events set our once happy, ordinary family into a downward spiral with no stopping of the spiral in sight. I was beyond depressed and when I looked into my children’s eyes the overwhelming feeling of being a complete failure and that after everything and all those years of hard work and never giving up trying ….now we were falling and failing our family.” |
