A stroke left him unconscious, with a fractured facial bone and nerve damage to his eye. In an instant, Abel and his wife, Celia, were facing a medical emergency\u2014while caring for their young child.<\/p>\n<p>Abel began months of physical therapy to regain strength and mobility. During his recovery, Celia became his full-time caregiver and had to stop working. When temporary disability benefits ended, the family quickly fell behind on rent and faced the risk of eviction.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-38609 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cceb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Constant-Contact-Photo-4-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"515\" height=\"290\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when Catholic Charities East Bay\u2014and donors like you\u2014stepped in.<\/p>\n<p>With your support, housing case manager Delia secured emergency rental assistance to cover the family\u2019s past-due rent, helping them remain safely housed during an incredibly vulnerable time.
