Kyle's Story


After incarceration, Kyle needed help rebuilding his life. He turned to St. Vincent de Paul Reentry, and within an hour, he had a voucher for new clothes, his license renewed, and a cell phone in hand. Kyle knew he needed more resources, and SVDP was there, allowing him to see a path to success. He was relieved that the help he had heard SVDP offered was coming to fruition. Meeting with the employment staff meant he could use a computer and build upon his resume, which the team at SVDP sent out, gaining him several job leads.
“The employment staff even contacted the employers for me! I had no resources and nowhere to work on my resume. St. Vincent de Paul gave me a sense that someone was on my side. They saw my potential and welcomed me exactly as I was, and with open arms.”
