Working wonders for families…
When Mary came to Catholic Family Services (CFS) of
Dufferin-Peel, she was overwhelmed and had a bleak
outlook at her future. A victim of domestic violence, the
single mother of three was also struggling to cope with
behavioural issues from her eldest son. Mary and her son
were given counseling and support by CFS. Today, Mary is
a more confident woman and she and her son are closer
than ever. In 2009, ShareLife’s network of Catholic
Family Services offices helped 116,389 people deal with
stress, anxiety, mental illness, domestic violence and
troubled relationships.
Please give generously. You can work WONDERS!
