Every Tuesday, before dawn, dozens of people in need are clustered in a queue at the gates of Jesus the Worker parish in South Range. Each slab carries a pressing need: a threat of eviction for non-payment of two months of mortgage, finding financial aid for school supplies for children, a broken washing machine or a leak water at home without the means to deal with a repair ... Overwhelmed by the growing demand for services, Caritas has been forced to implement an appointment system to assist families with emergency aid requirements.

"The situation is extreme," referring volunteers. The crisis has also made a dent in this area historically depressed, dragging the tail of Caritas to people who pre-recession survived through work placements and service poor.

Most of the callers at the door of Caritas are bounced from the center Civic Skeleton, where the social work unit of the City, in the absence of economic funds redirected to the church where Jesus Obrero. "Always same thing happens. In October, just funds and social services until April. And all because the Administration or can not cope or not programmed right. "
From Caritas should be recalled that the Administration has the obligation to respond to these people, and not the Church, whose attentions and services have the support of "the faithful throw money on the brushes every Sunday."
