💙 A story of faith, resilience and hope from one of our own.
Last year, Catholic Charities employee Rodolfo Sotelo and his family faced one of the most difficult experiences of their lives when his son, Arturo, was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
After multiple surgeries, months of recovery and countless prayers, Arturo is now back doing what he loves, including playing saxophone and performing with his marching band! 🎷
Their incredible journey recently caught the attention of PEOPLE magazine, which shared Arturo's story with readers across the country.
For Rodolfo, who has been part of Catholic Charities Housing Services for nearly 10 years and now serves as a pre-purchase counselor, the experience reinforced the importance of compassion, community and supporting one another through life's challenges.
"We never know what others are going through. Just a bit of positivity can impact someone in a good way and make their day better," Rodolfo shared.
Throughout Arturo's recovery, the family received an outpouring of love and support from relatives, friends, local businesses, coworkers and communities across the country.
We're incredibly grateful to have Rodolfo as part of our Catholic Charities family and thrilled to see Arturo thriving!
