Lucinda’s Story
Jeffrey shared that he had always been in a position to help others, and never imagined his own family would one day need that same support. His story reminds us that financial hardship can affect anyone—regardless of career or past circumstances. And sometimes, the right support at the right time can make all the difference. Thanks to the generosity of CHC supporters, Jeffrey's family received critical assistance that helped protect their home and gave them the opportunity to move forward with renewed confidence.
For Kenneth and his wife, CHC's support meant saving the home they worked their whole lives to achieve. A grant may be a number on paper, but behind it is a person, a family, a home, and a lifetime of hard work. For Kenneth, when facing the loss of his home, that grant was a second chance. It was security. It was hope.

The Beare Family
This is the first family we helped, and we are honored to do so. Olivia Beare’s husband, Steven, set out to climb Mount Elbrus in Russia and was overcome by a 2-day whiteout storm. Steven did not return.
Efforts were made to locate him and then, with no success, to retrace Steve’s route. Unfortunately, they have not found him, nor any of his gear. Olivia and her son were put in an insurmountable situation with their home and mortgage. Olivia says, “Just keeping our lives going as we had planned is really important to me.”
Because of the generosity of the many donations to our cause, we were able to assist the family and help Olivia stay in her home.
