Paul, a proud father to his little girl, rebuilt his life. Then, the pandemic hit. He now has full-time employment and we will continue to help him until he is fully back on his feet.

Meet Paul, a family man whose young daughter
is the center of his world. Having a prior arrest record, it was difficult for Paul to find work. Fortunately, about seven years ago, he was hired at a restaurant, where the chef took Paul under his wing. Paul embraced the opportunity, soaking up everything he needed to learn.

Fast forward and Paul’s enthusiasm and
dedication resulted in him becoming a valued and indispensable member of the restaurant’s team. He carried his own key and ran the kitchen himself several nights each week. Unfortunately, when the restaurant closed in March due to coronavirus, Paul and his wife (already out of work) became worried about their family’s future. Samaritan Community helped Paul with every need, every step of the way.

Paul is working full-time and is getting back on his feet. Regaining stability, particularly at a time like this, is often a long process. That is why Samaritan Community is here! We are with our members for however long they need us, so that they have the support necessary to make a better life.
