Dear Friends,Earlier this year, Cynthia told a Guardian Angel case worker that she just wanted to succeed and be able to provide for her two young children. After three months of unemployment, Cynthia had recently secured a job – but it was a low-paying one and she was struggling to make ends meet. Cynthia worked with the case worker to set goals and develop a household budget, and Guardian Angel was able to help her get caught up on overdue rent. Cynthia’s work with Guardian Angel boosted her confidence. Less than two months after starting the job, Cynthia was promoted to a supervisor position!

We are proud to partner with hardworking St. Louisans like Cynthia. The assistance we were able to provide is the kind of work we do every day at Guardian Angel. Your support makes that possible.

As you look forward to the Christmas season, please remember families like Cynthia’s. For those struggling to make ends meet, Christmas is a day like any other – but your generosity can help make it a truly special one. Your gift to Guardian Angel not only brightens the holidays for the children, families, and seniors we serve, but also provides year-round, vital assistance to ensure St. Louis families take their next steps on the path to possible.

Thank you for your support. I hope you take pride in knowing that your generosity will put smiles on many faces this Christmas morning.

Warmest Holiday Wishes,

Jessica Brandon, MBA, MS, NCCPresident & CEO
