You are most fortunate....when I worked at Catholic Charities decades ago I was involved in helping folks access those programs and we had to depend on the programs themselves as no "private sector angel" was available.

I worked with Legal Aid, Legal Assistance for Seniors, attys who donated pro bono time and I am sure that guys like these would love access to "private sector" assistance....please feel very free to share that data if you wish with your Catholic Charities folks.

I was quite sympathetic with your list of travails...I know the programs are tough to access they were then and are probably much harder now, and I suspect reduced in scope and funding.

I do encourage you if you have helpful info to share it with Your Charities.
