Queen Bee 2024 Campaign supporting Catholic Charities Wichita

Join me in supporting individuals and families facing homelessness and domestic violence.
Hello, I am Tracy Cleary, Product Manager for Koch Global Services.
It is truly hard to capture the pride I have from this opportunity. My aunt worked at St. Anthony Family Shelter decades ago. Her drive to assist others and turn unfortunate situations into inspiring life lessons always moved me. Having worked as a paramedic in Wichita for years, I witnessed the true and undeniable need for these two life-saving shelters. Having the resources needed under one roof and in a safe and encouraging environment answers many people's prayers in their worst times. If I can make even the slightest impact on these missions continuing in our community, I'm all in!
My favorite quote is, "If you can't fly, then run; if you can't run, then walk; if you can't walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward." Martin Luther King Jr.'s words here seem appropriate for this campaign.
Please join me in helping more than 2,400 children and adults per year who are rebuilding their lives so they can fly and achieve their dreams!
Harbor House provides a safe place for survivors of severe violence to rebuild their lives. St. Anthony Family Shelter provides emergency housing exclusively for families with children. Families at both shelters have access to three meals daily, snacks, medical support, housing stabilization support, information about finding a job, and support. Both shelters accept persons regardless of their faith or experiences in life.
About me:
I grew up in St. James, Augusta parish, where my parents still belong, attended middle school at Magdalen, graduated from Kapaun Mount Carmel, and currently belong to Blessed Sacrament. My husband, Brian, and I met when I was working as a paramedic, and he was a firefighter for the City of Wichita. We have a daughter, Maggie, and a son, Patrick. They are both Blessed Sacrament Barons and keep us busy with activities and sports. We all love a good road trip and cheering on our Royals and Chiefs!
