MEET THOMAS
When Thomas’ son passed away, he was left with almost no family support and began to feel lonely and unsure if he could keep living in his home. Thomas’ health conditions and age make it very difficult for him to clean his home on his own. When he needed help to remain safe in his home, he called Catholic Charities’ In-Home Support program.
A homemaker from the program was paired with Thomas and has visited once a week for nearly six years. In addition to providing housekeeping and help with laundry, her visits relieve the loneliness seniors feel when family and friends are gone. Thomas is grateful to Catholic Charities for helping him fulfill his wish to stay in his home.
