Andy and Kathy’s story

Mar 23, 2018

Few words describe poverty better than the word loss. And loss is exactly what Andy and Kathy were facing.

Unmanageable debt was forcing them closer and closer toward the complete loss of their marriage, their health – and their family life.

Desperate to escape the stress, Andy turned to alcohol. Some weeks they were left with just $80 to feed their family. The couple hit rock bottom, and realising they were going to lose everything, Andy reached out to CAP.

“We can laugh, we can joke, we pray together. All the things we couldn’t do before – we can do now!”
