1314 – St. Joseph Elderly Care – Haiti

Concerned by the impact of poverty and disintegrating family ties in her local Haitian community, a lay Catholic named Nirva Desdunes founded the St. Joseph’s Elderly Care Center. This is a safe, fun environment where elderly men and women who would otherwise spend their day alone can enjoy companionship and receive much-needed assistance. The program provides breakfast and lunch, offers basic medical support and hosts a variety of activities such as holiday celebrations, board games and literacy training. The spiritual life of the elderly is cultivated through prayer, catechesis, Bible reflection and monthly Mass. Your generosity will help provide food, medicine and other operating costs of the center, bringing hope, love and comfort to elderly Haitians who have no one else to care for them.
