No one should have to bury their child, yet Joseph had to bury his adult son who had been senselessly murdered.
Joseph spent the last money he had in savings to give his son a proper funeral.
On top of using every penny he had on hand, he fell into the throws of depression and missed days of work which resulted in his employer letting him go.
Joseph moved to Wilmington to get a fresh start and start over.
He turned to St Vincent de Paul for assistance with rent when he found a modest apartment near his new job that he could walk to.
He didn’t have furniture nor a car, but he had hope that life would turn around.
St Vincent de Paul team members were there to give him the hope he prayed for.
