CSI Financial Joins with Indian Princess Coyote Nation in Giving Christmas Cheer San Diego, California, December 28, 2007 -- CSI Financial Services joined with girls and their fathers from the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA’s Indian Princess Coyote Nation, December 16, for a memorable day of holiday gift giving and festivities for formerly incarcerated women and their children at Providence Place in San Diego. The event, organized by the YMCA Indian Princess organization, donated Christmas gifts, clothing, kitchen appliances and a wonderful turkey luncheon for this very special Christmas party. "Good will toward others, giving of our hearts and time and making others feel special and appreciated are what the holiday season is all about," said Mitch Patridge, CEO of CSI Financial Services and father of Skylar Patridge, a nine-year old Indian Princess. "We are very happy to be participating in this wonderful program." The special day also included the Coyote Nation choir singing Christmas songs, turkey and ham lunches prepared by the fathers and daughters, resident testimonials, presentation of gifts to the children and their mothers and dessert. There was also a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus. Providence Place is a voluntary program that provides transitional residential housing for women who are returning to their lives after being in prison. The program is open to women who are willing to work hard to reunite with their children and find employment. Participants must be drug and alcohol free. These women have very few resources and face many challenges. This year was particularly difficult for the women at Providence Place as they had been forced to move from their prior location and lost many personal items. Providence Place is seeking additional donations from the community and has requested towels (bath towel, hand towel and wash cloth set), toiletries (soap, shampoo, conditioner, comb, brush, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and deodorant), cosmetics (eyeliner, mascara, blush), linens (pillow and pillow case) and blow dryers. Other sorely needed items are microwave ovens, irons, ironing boards, kitchen mixers, brooms, dust pans and other standard kitchen appliances. To make a gift or financial donation to Providence Place please contact: Erica Green at ericagreen@cox.net or by calling 619-548-2400. A leader in offering automated patient financing, CSI Financial Services has provided hospitals and patients with non-application based loan programs since 1992. CSI has funded more than $200 million in patient loans enabling hundreds of thousands of patients to pay their healthcare obligations.
