“Our ministries often face deep financial challenges—even struggling to meet basic living expenses. We rely on the generosity of donors, especially friends and family, whose support sustains our work when resources are scarce. Their giving isn’t just helpful—it’s vital,” shares Brother Jordan Coonen, 84, who has devoted 65 years of service as a Dominican Brother in Chicago, Illinois.
