Because of the lies also by these people who have also gave me the medication Abilify that caused so much damage which caused me to have poor decision making and clouded my mind and when i was given the medication which also made me have the mind of a 10 year old which i was in my 30's. People like this needs to stop telling lies on medication saying it will help but in my case of all the damages that has been done it caused more harm than good. I have 26 you tube video's that show's some proof and hope my story helps others. Bad medication exp. family lies and misdiagnosed .
Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Omaha is a wonderful organization serving all those in our area with love and compassion. The people who serve in many ways to help our community are truly Saints on earth and I respect their dedication and faithfulness.
1 Corinthians 13:2 - faith without love is nothing
Galatians 5:6 - the only thing that counts is faith working in love
James 2:24 - a man is justified by works and not by faith alone
Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Omaha is a fabulous organization. We all know what a toll the past and current economic environment has had on people. We are all called to help our neighbors and one of the best things we can do is to support Catholic Charities. The Omaha affiliate is a great steward of the resources entrusted to them.
