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% 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.
