Making a Difference

Life isn’t always easy to navigate or easy to understand. Samaritan Center exists to help people cope, rebound, and heal from the unexpected difficulties life can bring.

In the third year of pandemic-driven change, we are determined to continue to live vibrantly into that mission. No matter their ages or their circumstances, our clients tell us they are weary, worn thin by the stress of isolation, unpredictability, and the incessant troubling news. For example, there is the woman in her 70s who meets with her therapist every other week. She lives alone in low-income housing, is largely estranged from her adult children, and worries continually about her health, her finances, and the uncertainty of the future. She talks about her faith and experience of decline: ‘You’re the only one I have to talk to,” she says. “I don’t know what I would do without being able to meet with you.’

Those of you who so generously support this ministry make it possible for us to continue to be a healing presence for people who are in need of care. Without these donations from our spiritual partners – church congregations and individuals – helping those in need simply can’t be done. We pray that you will stand beside us in this difficult time. We thank you.”
