Stories of Hope & Resilience
“I was really scared. I got a shut-off notice from PSEG and they were going to turn off my electricity. I use an oxygen tank, so I was terrified about what would happen. I didn’t know where to turn or how I was going to fix it.
That’s when I reached out to RL Bethany Relief Services INC. Lucenie helped me right away. She walked me through the process and helped me apply for assistance. Because of her help, my bill got paid off completely.
Now I have peace of mind. I’m not worried anymore. I also feel much more informed — I know who to call and where to apply for help if I ever need it again. I’m really grateful that RL Bethany is here to support people like me when we need it most.”
After losing her job and facing housing instability, Maria reached out to our team. Through our emergency assistance program, she received food support and help securing temporary housing. With guidance from our workforce development coaches, she rebuilt her resume and landed a stable position. Today, Maria is focused on her children’s future and rebuilding her life with confidence.
James had been out of work for over a year and felt discouraged. After attending our resume and interview workshops, he gained new skills and renewed confidence. With support from our team, he secured employment and is now helping others in his community by volunteering with us.
When the Rivera family faced a health crisis, they didn’t know where to turn. Our Integrated Community Resilience Program connected them with housing support, wellness resources, and referrals for specialized care. Today, the family is stronger and more connected to the resources they need.
These are just a few examples of the real people we serve every day.
