Cathy LaPore Impact Story

Junior High Office Receptionist

The Love Gift has been such a huge blessing to our family, and we are so grateful. We are a low-income family, and we struggle living in this area. The past few years have been hard. My husband works in construction, and he’s been in and out of work a lot. This past year, he lost his job and was out of work for five months. We were already struggling with supporting our daughter in college and paying our mortgage and bills, but this has really set us back. We couldn’t even afford to have electricity in half of our kitchen.

The Love Gift provides a way for us to make some much-needed repairs to our old home (built in 1940). Last year, thanks to the Love Gift, we were finally able to repair our bathroom sink. It was a repair we’d been waiting to make for over a year, and what a difference it has made!
