When Maria and her family arrived in Indianapolis, they faced immediate challenges. Their son, born with a rare neurological disorder, needed specialized care. Maria and her husband were unable to work, and found themselves struggling to find housing that would accommodate their son’s medical needs. Maria reached out to us for support, and our team was there to help—connecting them with housing resources, food, clothing, and the emotional support they needed in their time.
