Your donation supports our mission
As Little Sisters of the Poor, we devote our lives to making the elderly happy but we cannot do it alone.
The cost of caring for the elderly in a manner respectful of their dignity far exceeds the income received from the Residents’ pensions, Social Security and Medicaid.
Over 55 percent of our operating costs must come from donations; over $250,000 a month is needed.
To cover this constant deficit and to make necessary facility repairs, we rely on your generosity and donation.
