Taylor Family

In a moment of crisis for the Taylor family, crucial assistance from St. Theresa’s SVdP
came precisely when it was needed.

Addison and Alma have seven children ranging from 3 to 16 years, and two are on the
autism spectrum. They lost their jobs two months ago. Then, compounding their
challenges, their car was repossessed. Although Addison recently secured a long-
distance trucking job, an eviction hearing was approaching within days. He feared for
Alma and the seven children were homeless, and schooling was disrupted while he was on
the road.

The family was waiting for confirmation of a grant from an Austin rent program, but
those funds wouldn’t be released until they paid a significant balance – money they did
not have.

The day before the Taylors’ court appearance, their grant came through with SVdP
intervening with perfect timing, and the rent was paid at the courthouse. The eviction
was dismissed! This timely assistance was a lifeline for the family and a reflection of the
Holy Spirit's guidance within our ministry. Heartfelt thanks to the St. Theresa
parishioners who made this possible!

“And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal
glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, and strengthen you.” [1 Peter 5:10]
