CINCINNATI â Walk the hallways of Catholic Charities of Southwestern Ohio, and youâll likely see Sandy Rodriguez focused on her computer.
During these moments, she s actually saving children s lives. A lot of people come here without adults or parents. They come by themselves, said Rodriguez.
Having operated through a pandemic for more than a year, Catholic Charities will hold a fundraiser next week to make sure Rodriguez can keep doing her work.
As a family reunification case manager in Cincinnati, one of her most recent success stories is about a teenage boy who said he was enduring abuse at the hands of his mother in Guatemala.
